getIntercrossingAndSelfingGenerations: Identify number of generations of intercrossing and selfing, per genetic line

Description

Identify number of generations of intercrossing and selfing, per genetic line

Usage

getIntercrossingAndSelfingGenerations(cross)

Arguments

cross

The mpcross object containing the pedigree to be analysed.

Value

An integer matrix with two columns, giving the number of generations of selfing and intercrossing, for each genetic line. Or in the case of multiple experiments contained within a single object, a list of such matrices.

Details

Many structured populations consist of a number of generations of mixing, followed by a number of generations of intercrossing, followed by inbreeding. This function identifies the number of generations of selfing and intercrossing, for each genetic line, in the case of 4-way, 8-way or 16-way multi-parent design.
