mergeGenome function

Combine genomes of individuals

This function is designed to model the pairing of gametes. The male and female individuals are treated as gametes, so the ploidy of newly created individuals will be the sum of it parents.

mergeGenome(females, males, crossPlan, simParam = NULL)

Arguments

• females: an object of Pop-class for female parents.
• males: an object of Pop-class for male parents.
• crossPlan: a matrix with two column representing female and male parents. Either integers for the position in population or character strings for the IDs.
• simParam: an object of SimParam

Returns

Returns an object of Pop-class

Examples

#Create founder haplotypes
founderPop = quickHaplo(nInd=10, nChr=1, segSites=10)

#Set simulation parameters
SP = SimParam$new(founderPop)

#Create population
pop = newPop(founderPop, simParam=SP)

#Cross individual 1 with individual 10
crossPlan = matrix(c(1,10), nrow=1, ncol=2)
pop2 = mergeGenome(pop, pop, crossPlan, simParam=SP)
