## Test data for the snpMatrix package

### Description

This dataset comprises several data frames from a fictional (and unrealistically small) study. The dataset started off as real data from a screen of non-synonymous SNPs for association with type 1 diabetes, but the original identifiers have been removed and a random case/control status has been generated.

### Usage

    data(testdata)

### Format

There are five data objects in the dataset:

`Autosomes`
  An object of class `"snp.matrix"` containing genotype calls for 400 subjects at 9445 autosomal SNPs
`Xchromosome`
  An object of class `"X.snp.matrix"` containing genotype calls for 400 subjects at 155 SNPs on the X chromosome
`Asnps`
  A dataframe containing information about the autosomal SNPs. Here it contains only one variable, `chromosome`, indicating the chromosomes on which the SNPs are located
`Xsnps`
  A dataframe containing information about the X chromosome SNPs. Here it is empty and is only included for completeness
`subject.data`
  A dataframe containing information about the subjects from whom each row of SNP data was obtained. Here it contains:
`cc`
  Case-control status
`sex`
  Sex
`region`
  Geographical region of residence

### Source

The data were obtained from the diabetes and inflammation laboratory (see http://www-gene.cimr.cam.ac.uk/todd)
