mother

optional id for mothers. Must match id in pedigree if using track pedigree.

father

optional id for fathers. Must match id in pedigree if using track pedigree.

# NOT RUN {
#Create founder haplotypes
founderPop = quickHaplo(nInd=2, nChr=1, segSites=10)

SP = SimParam$new(founderPop)
SP$addTraitA(10)

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

# }
