writeRecords

an object of <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/Pop-class?package=AlphaSimR&version=0.10.0" data-mini-rdoc="AlphaSimR::Pop-class">Pop-class</a></code>

path to a directory for saving output

which SNP chip genotype to save. If useQtl=TRUE, this
value will indicate which trait's QTL genotype to save. A value of
0 will skip writing a snpChip.

snpChip

should QTL genotype be written instead of SNP chip
genotypes.

useQtl

should markers be seperated by female and male
haplotypes.

includeHaplo

if true, new records are added to any existing records.
If false, any existing records are deleted before writing new records.
Note that this will delete all files in the 'dir' directory.

append

an object of <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/SimParam?package=AlphaSimR&version=0.10.0" data-mini-rdoc="AlphaSimR::SimParam">SimParam</a></code>

simParam

Saves a population's phenotypic and marker data to a directory.

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>].
