Parameters | Genetics | Minimum LOD Threshold

Minimum LOD Threshold
Use this field to specify a recombination fraction ( rf ) for the analysis.
If Order Algorithm is NOT set to Automated , then the LOD value entered here is used to set the recombination fraction ( rf ) to half ( rf =0.5) for any pair of markers for which the LOD value from the test of linkage is less than this value.
If Order Algorithm is set to Automated , then the value of LOD entered here is used when positioning markers in the linkage group.
Note : When the best LOD for positioning a marker within a linkage group is less than the value specified here, this marker is dropped from the linkage group.
To Specify the Minimum LOD Threshold:
*
Make sure that the Order Algorithm parameter is specified as desired.
*
Enter the desired LOD threshold value into the text field.
