This function will calculate Rosenberg et al's, (2003) In for loci of any ploidy level. The statistic can be calculated across all samples or on a pairwise basis. The function is efficient for a large number of loci.

1	polyIn(infile = NULL, pairwise = FALSE, para = FALSE)

`infile`	A character string pointing to an input file containing genotypes in a modified genepop format. Rather that genotypes being coded as either two digit or three digit numbers, polyploid genotypes are coded as `AABA, AAAA, ... ABAB` etc. for a tetraploid or `ABA, AAA, ... ABB` etc. for a triploid. The overall structure of the input file should be that of a genepop file.
`pairwise`	A logical argument specifying whether In should be calculated for pairwise population comparisons. Large number of population samples will result in long computation times.
`para`	A logical argument specifying whether multiple CPU cores should be used. If `para = TRUE`, all available system CPUs will be used.

If pairwise = TRUE, a list of pairwise matrices for each locus is returned. These list elements are named as per loci names in infile to allow simple indexing for loci of interest. If pairwise = FALSE and named numeric vector is returned.
