Description

This function extends an object of class gpData by adding new phenotypes, genotypes and pedigree.

Usage

add.individuals(gpData, pheno = NULL, geno = NULL,
                pedigree = NULL, covar = NULL, repl=NULL)

Arguments

gpData

object of class gpData to be updated

pheno

data.frame with new rows for phenotypes with rownames indicating individuals. For repeated values the ID should be stored in a column with name "ID".

geno

matrix with new rows for genotypic data with rownames indicating individuals

pedigree

data.frame with new rows for pedigree data

covar

data.frame with new rows for covar information with rownames indicating individuals

repl

The column of the pheno data.frame for the replicated measures. If the values are not repeated or this column is named "repl" this argument is not needed.

Value

• object of class gpData with new individuals

Examples

# add one new DH line to maize data
data(maize)
newDHpheno <- data.frame(Trait=1000,row.names="newDH")
# simulating genotypic data
newDHgeno <- matrix(sample(c(0,1),ncol(maize$geno),replace=TRUE),nrow=1)
rownames(newDHgeno) <- "newDH"
# new pedigree
newDHpedigree <- data.frame(ID="newDH",Par1=0,Par2=0,gener=0)
# new covar information
newDHcovar <- data.frame(family=NA,DH=1,tbv=1000,row.names="newDH")

# add individual
maize2 <- add.individuals(maize,newDHpheno,newDHgeno,newDHpedigree,newDHcovar)
