Specify the number of
linkage
groups to form. Typically, the number of linkage groups is equal to the number of
chromosomes
in the
genome
of interest. The value entered here determines the number of clusters (linkage groups) to form after performing
hierarchical clustering
on the matrix of pairwise recombination rates. The groups are saved to the output data set in a new
variable
named
LGroup
.
