Summary: select how far to compute scores beyond ends of map Argument: < distance > Default: displays the current setting
This command controls how far before the first marker and after the last marker in a map scores will be calculated. For example, if off-end is set to 10.0, then subsequent scan commands will begin calculating scores 10 cM before the first marker and continue stepping through until 10 cM after the last marker. The default value of 'off end' is 0.0 cM. Calling 'off end' with no arguments causes GENEHUNTER to report the current value.
Distances may be specified as either recombination-fractions or centiMorgans, with the necessary assumption that any distance below 0.5 is assumed to be a recombination-fraction and any greater than or equal to 0.5 is assumed to be in centiMorgans.
