2497_indiv_5591_markers files The .ped file is a file of genotypes in plink style (see http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/plink/). The column headings are: Family ID Individual ID Paternal ID Maternal ID Sex (1=male; 2=female; other=unknown) Phenotype (followed by the genotypes) The .map file is a file of marker names and positions, slightly amended from the plink format with column headings: chromosome, marker_name, marker_order, genetic_distance_(cM) Chromosome codes are as usual for chromosomes 1 - 15, 17 - 24 and 26 - 28. Chromosme 1A has chromosome code 29 Chromosme 4A has chromosome code 30 Chromosme Z has chromosome code 31 LGE422 has chromosome code 32 Note that linkage groups 25A and 25B are both labelled with chromosome = 25. The three markers on 25A have marker orders 4659-4661, while the seven markers on PMA25B have marker orders 4662-4668: 25 M3554 4659 0 25 M6716 4661 2.568 25 M2702 4660 0.448 25 M6440 4662 0 25 M8040 4663 1.227 25 M4510 4664 1.227 25 M7228 4665 1.227 25 M4478 4666 3.679 25 M4995 4668 3.679 25 M5507 4667 3.679 2497_indiv_phenotype.txt file This file contains the phenotypes used in the analysis. Note that phenotypes are not available for all genotyped individuals. The column headings are ID birthyear sex (1 = male; 2 = female) age (0 = individuals measured during the year of their birth; 1 = individuals caught in the year after their birth; 2 = any other age) day (day of the measurement) month (month of the measurement) year (year of measurement) site (location in the woods) wing
