merging.trait: Generation of genomic traits

In MoBPS: Modular Breeding Program Simulator

Generation of genomic traits

Description

Generation of the trait in a starting population

Usage

merging.trait(
  population,
  merge = NULL,
  trait.name = NULL,
  bv.standard = FALSE,
  mean.target = NULL,
  var.target = NULL,
  verbose = TRUE,
  set.zero = FALSE,
  new.phenotype.correlation = NULL,
  new.residual.correlation = NULL
)

Arguments

population	Population list
merge	Vector containing the traits to merge (e.g. c(2,3))
trait.name	Name of the trait generated
bv.standard	Set TRUE to standardize trait mean and variance via bv.standardization()
mean.target	Target mean
var.target	Target variance
verbose	Set to FALSE to not display any prints
set.zero	Set to TRUE to have no effect on the 0 genotype (or 00 for QTLs with 2 underlying SNPs)
new.phenotype.correlation	(OLD! - use new.residual.correlation) Correlation of the simulated enviromental variance
new.residual.correlation	Correlation of the simulated enviromental variance

Value

Population-list with one or more additional new traits

Examples

population <- creating.diploid(nsnp=1000, nindi=100)
population <- creating.trait(population, n.additive=c(100,100))
population <- merging.trait(population, merge = c(1,2))
