In Qploidy: Estimation of Ploidy and Detection of Aneuploidy Using Genotyping Data

Simulate a VCF file with GT, DP, and AD format fields for 2 chromosomes

Description

Simulate a VCF file with GT, DP, and AD format fields for 2 chromosomes

Usage

simulate_vcf(
  file_path,
  seed,
  n_tetraploid = 35,
  n_diploid = 5,
  n_triploid = 10,
  n_markers = 100
)

Arguments

file_path	The path where the simulated VCF file will be saved.
seed	The seed for random number generation to ensure reproducibility.
n_tetraploid	Number of tetraploid samples. Default is 35.
n_diploid	Number of diploid samples. Default is 5.
n_triploid	Number of triploid samples. Default is 10.
n_markers	Number of markers to simulate. Default is 100.

Value

None. The function writes the simulated VCF content to the specified file.
