gl.sim.offspring

Simulates a specified number of offsprings based on alleles provided by potential father(s) and mother(s)

Description

This takes a population (or a single individual) of fathers (provided as a genlight object) and mother(s) and simulates offsprings based on "random" mating. It can be used to simulate population dynamics and check the effect of those dynamics and allele frequencies, number of alleles. Another application is to simulate relatedness of siblings and compare it to actual relatedness found in the population to determine kinship.

Usage

gl.sim.offspring(fathers, mothers, noffpermother, sexratio = 0.5)

Arguments

`fathers`	– genlight object of potential fathers
`mothers`	– genlight object of potential mothers simulated
`noffpermother`	– number of offsprings per mother
`sexratio`	– the sex ratio of simulated offsprings [females / females +males, 1 equals 100 percent females]

Value

a genlight object with n individuals.

Examples

#Simulate 10 potential fathers
gl.fathers <- glSim(10, 20, ploidy=2)
#Simulate 10 potential mothers
gl.mothers <- glSim(10, 20, ploidy=2)
gl.sim.offspring(gl.fathers, gl.mothers, 2, sexratio=0.5)
