calcGCA: Calculate GCA

In AlphaSimR: Breeding Program Simulations

Calculate GCA

Description

Calculate general combining ability of test crosses. Intended for output from hybridCross using the "testcross" option, but will work for any population.

Usage

calcGCA(pop, use = "pheno")

Arguments

pop	an object of Pop-class or HybridPop-class
use	tabulate either genetic values "gv", estimated breeding values "ebv", or phenotypes "pheno"

Examples

#Create founder haplotypes
founderPop = quickHaplo(nInd=10, nChr=1, segSites=10, inbred=TRUE)

#Set simulation parameters
SP = SimParam$new(founderPop)

SP$addTraitA(10)

#Create population
pop = newPop(founderPop, simParam=SP)

#Make crosses for full diallele
pop2 = hybridCross(pop, pop, simParam=SP)
GCA = calcGCA(pop2, use="gv")
