Data on hypertension

Description

This is data from a real experiment on hypertension in the mouse. The phenotype is the blood pressure. See the references below. Note that, for most markers, genotypes are available on only the individuals with extreme phenotypes. At many markers, only recombinant individuals were typed. We thank Bev Paigen and Gary Churchill for allowing us to distribute these data with the R/qtl package.

Usage

Format

The data is an object of class cross. See read.cross for details. There are 250 backcross individuals typed at 174 markers (actually one contains only missing values), including 4 on the X chromosome, with one phenotype (blood pressure).
