clone.Chromosome: Clones itself and its genes

In galgo: Genetic Algorithms for Multivariate Statistical Models from Large-Scale Functional Genomics Data

Description

Clones itself and its genes. Objects in S3 and this package are passed by reference and any “pointer” to it will affect the original object. Therefore, you must clone an object first in order to preserve the original values.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Chromosome'
clone(.O, ...)

Value

Returns a new cloned object.

Examples

  cr <- Chromosome(genes=newCollection(Gene(shape1=1, shape2=100),5))
  cr
  cr2 <- cr
  generateRandom(cr2)
  cr2
  cr			# cr and cr2 are the very same object
  cr3 <- clone(cr2)
  generateRandom(cr3)
  cr3
  cr2			# now cr2 is different to cr3
  cr			# but cr2 is still the same than cr
