SimParam_switchFounderPop

<p>Switches the founder population in the founderPop 
field. This may be desirable if traits are to be 
tuned to a population derived from the original 
founderPop. Note that no checking is performed to verify 
that the genetic map and/or number of segregating sites 
hasn't changed. The new founderPop can be 
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/MapPop-class?package=AlphaSimR&version=0.10.0" data-mini-rdoc="AlphaSimR::MapPop-class">MapPop-class</a></code> or <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/RawPop-class?package=AlphaSimR&version=0.10.0" data-mini-rdoc="AlphaSimR::RawPop-class">RawPop-class</a></code></p>

The successor to the 'AlphaSim' software for breeding program
simulation [Faux et al. (2016) <doi:10.3835/plantgenome2016.02.0013>].
Used for stochastic simulations of breeding programs to the level of DNA
sequence for every individual. Contained is a wide range of functions for
modeling common tasks in a breeding program, such as selection and crossing.
These functions allow for constructing simulations of highly complex plant and
animal breeding programs via scripting in the R software environment. Such
simulations can be used to evaluate overall breeding program performance and
conduct research into breeding program design, such as implementation of
genomic selection. Included is the 'Markovian Coalescent Simulator' ('MaCS')
for fast simulation of biallelic sequences according to a population
demographic history [Chen et al. (2009) <doi:10.1101/gr.083634.108>].
