Nearby Marker Recombination Constraint

Use this text box to specify a value of a pairwise recombination fraction to use as a constraint in the Map Order Optimization and the Accelerated Map Order Optimization methods for allowing two markers to be placed in order next to each other.

The algorithms will use this value to try to avoid placing markers that are genetically far apart next to each other. At times this constraint might have to be violated for a given complex linkage group, but this value will help to reduce the iterations and time computation for achieving the optimal map.

Note: For some problems, a low constraint could make the optimization infeasible; at which time the threshold should be raised to a larger value.

Note: This field is enabled only when either Map Order Optimization or Accelerated Map Order Optimization is selected as the Order Algorithm.

To Specify the Number of Clusters for Automated Compression:
