The
Compare Linkage Maps
process draws a graphical representation of the differences and similarities of genetic markers and their positions in two
linkage
maps.
Two
Input Linkage Map SAS Data Set
s
are required. These data sets should contain
variables
to specify linkage groups or
chromosomes
, markers, and their positions (measured in
centiMorgans
) in the map.
Tip
: These data sets can be created by the
Linkage Map Order
process or generated by another program and imported into JMP Genomics.
The
CompareMapExample.sas7bdat
data set serves as an example, and is shown below.
For detailed information about the files and data sets used or created by JMP Life Sciences software, see

The output generated by this process is summarized in a Tabbed report. Refer to the
Compare Linkage Maps
output documentation for detailed descriptions and guides to interpreting your results.
