CloudMap-like linkage plots - just better

Nacreous clouds are extraordinary, stratospheric clouds.
NacreousMap (not just regular CloudMap) is the name of the new mapping-by-sequencing engine added to MiModD in version 0.1.7. Its code is the result of merging our previous linkage analysis code with a complete rewrite of the CloudMap Hawaiian Variant and EMS Variant Density Mapping tools.
The upcoming version 0.1.7.1 (due next week) features several bug-fixes and small enhancements of NacreousMap, which together with the previously available features make NacreousMap truly superior to CloudMap.

This is a list of unique features in MiModD/NacreousMap:

• a more powerful algorithm than CloudMap Hawaiian Variant Mapping for allele frequency analyses
• same control over variant density plots as over allele frequency plots
• produce small, responsive pdfs (up to 50x smaller than files generated with CloudMap)
• more plotting options (scatterplots in any combination of colors with or without a Loess regression line, any number of bin-widths in histograms)
• true species-independence of all plots
• less unhandled errors

Remember to upgrade to v0.1.7.1, it is worth it.
For CloudMap users: you can enjoy some of these features by replotting data produced with the Hawaiian Variant Mapping tool on our plotting server.
