I think it as 3D like this:
1st axis: [MARKER]Name, like TDF1, TDF2.
2nd axis: Allele, like 181, 188 and so on.
3rd axis: Line: RHA280, RHA801.

I can have a star in MarkerName TDF1, Allele 181 and Line RHA280.
I can have an empty (o none) in TDF1, Allele 181 and Line RHA801.

What I like to know is what would be a suitable structure to handle this data?
thank you very much!
