Source: R/robert.R

This function reads a data.frame with chr. sizes chrbasicdatamono and another with marks' positions, markposDFs and gets as arguments two chr. names and two arms, respectively.

It returns a list with two data.frames. One with the chr. size of the resulting translocation and another with the marks' positions for the derivative chr.
