create_iso_female: function to simulate creation of an isofemale line

Description

create_isofemale simulates the creation of an isofemale line through extreme inbreeding.

Usage

create_iso_female(
  module = ancestry_module(),
  n = 1,
  inbreeding_pop_size = 100,
  run_time = 2000,
  num_threads = 1,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

module

Source population from which isofemales are generated

n

Number of isofemales to be generated

inbreeding_pop_size

Population size of the population used to generate homozygous individuals

run_time

Maximum runtime used for inbreeding

num_threads

number of threads. Default is 1. Set to -1 to use all available threads

verbose

Displays verbose output if TRUE. Default value is FALSE

Value

A list of length n, where each entry is a fully homozygous isofemale.

Details

To create an isofemale, two individuals are randomly picked from the source population. Using these two individuals, a new population is seeded, of size inbreeding_pop_size. Then, this population is allowed to inbreed until either run_time is reached, or until all individuals are homozygous and genetically identical, whatever happens first.
