noia (version 0.94.1)

Genotype names: Names of Genotypes

Description

genotype.names provides the names of all possible genotypes in the order required by the NOIA model (Alvarez-Castro and Carlborg 2007). The codes for the genotypes are stored in the vector genotypesNames.

Usage

genNames(nloc = 2)
genNamesAppend(name)

Arguments

nloc

Number of loci

name

The name of the genotype to which an extra locus has to be added.

Details

genNamesAppend is an internal function and is not supposed to be called by anything else than genNames.

The names of the genotypes are stored in the vector genotypesNames. By default, they are "1", "2", and "3", the heterozygotes being "2". The genotypes at different loci are then put together, such as "123" for 3 loci.
