It contains the map information for the population. Run Rmap using this file as input to generate a QTL cartographer map file. fracheb1cross.inp is an Rcross input file constructed according to the instructions in chapter 6.3.2 of the QTL cartographer manual. It contains the marker scores and traits data. Run Rcross using this file as input to generate a QTL cartographer cro file.
