Cross Type
Use the drop-down menu to specify the experimental crossing type.
Note: As this parameter is used in multiple processes, actual options might vary.
Cross types are described in the following table:
Selfing F1 offspring from a cross of homozygous parental lines P1 and P2 for many generations to generate recombinant inbred lines.
RILsib or RI2
DH or RI0
Sequentially selfing F1 offspring from a cross of homozygous parental lines P1 and P2 for n-1 generations (n larger than 1).
Intercrossed recombinant inbred line formed by n generations of random mating prior to selfing.
Intercrossed recombinant inbred line formed by n generations of random mating prior to sibling pair mating.
Backcross design F1xP1, where n is the Genotyping Generation (the number of backcrosses to P1).
Backcross design F1xP2, where n is the Genotyping Generation (the number of backcrosses to P2).
RFn or AIL
Testcross of SFn for m generations.
