I am running an animal model with animal, permanent environment and qtl
as random effects for a trait observed only on females. I provide
var(cov)iance matrix for qtl effect with ginv.giv file with the
dimension of 8x8.
The pedigree file (ped.dat) ,for example:
1 0 0
2 0 0
3 0 0
4 1 2
5 3 2
6 1 5
7 3 4
8 1 7
and the data file (tes.dat), for example:
cow sire dam parity hys pe fat
4 1 2 1 1 4 4 201
4 1 2 2 3 4 4 280
5 3 2 1 1 5 5 150
5 3 2 2 4 5 5 200
6 1 5 1 2 6 6 160
6 1 5 2 3 6 6 190
7 3 4 1 1 7 7 180
7 3 4 2 3 7 7 250
8 1 7 1 2 8 8 285
8 1 7 2 4 8 8 300
My control file is like this:
Single Trait Genetic Analysis with QTL>>>>>>>>>>>>>

hys !I
pe !I
qtl !P #------------> is this line correct ????
fat
ped.dat !MAKE
ginv.giv
tes.dat !MAXIT 10
fat ~ mu hys parity !r animal pe qtl
1 1 3
0 0 0
animal 1
animal 0 AINV 3.0
pe 1
pe 0 IDEN 1.5
qtl 1
qtl 0 GIV1 0.5
ASREML run without giving me error message when I put qualifier !P on
the qtl. When I changed into "qtl 8" then I have a warning saying"
Fewer levels found in qtl than specified".
I don't think using !P qualifier for qtl is correct but I have no idea
what is the correct one.
Second question is what I should write for the qtl column in my data
file if I assumed only males have been genotyped for marker.
