Running this process for the
GeneticMarkerExample
sample setting generates two output data sets accessed from a
Results
window shown below. Refer to the
Recode Genotypes
process description for more information about this process.
The
Results
window contains the following panes:
The panel on the left, which comes from the input data set, shows the genotypes for the first ten individuals at marker 1, in the two-column allelic format. Two
alleles
are present at this locus, with allele "1" being the most common. The panel on the right, which comes from the output data set, shows the same data; the genotypes have been converted to the one-column, genotypic format, and recoded for analysis. Individuals
homozygous
for allele 2, the least common or
minor allele
, are represented in the output with a "2", whereas the heterozygotes are represented with a "1". Examination of additional individuals and different marker loci shows that homozygotes for the most common allele are represented in the output with a "0".
