repool: Pool several genotypes into a single dataset

In adegenet: Exploratory Analysis of Genetic and Genomic Data

Pool several genotypes into a single dataset

Description

The function repool allows to merge genotypes from different genind objects into a single 'pool' (i.e. a new genind). The markers have to be the same for all objects to be merged, but there is no constraint on alleles.

Usage

repool(..., list = FALSE)

Arguments

...	a list of genind objects, or a series of genind objects separated by commas
list	a logical indicating whether a list of objects with matched alleles shall be returned (TRUE), or a single genind object (FALSE, default).

Details

This function can be useful, for instance, when hybrids are created using hybridize, to merge hybrids with their parent population for further analyses. Note that repool can also reverse the action of seppop.

Examples

## Not run: 
## use the cattle breeds dataset
data(microbov)
temp <- seppop(microbov)
names(temp)
## hybridize salers and zebu -- nasty cattle
zebler <- hybridize(temp$Salers, temp$Zebu, n=40)
zebler
## now merge zebler with other cattle breeds
nastyCattle <- repool(microbov, zebler)
nastyCattle

## End(Not run)
