create_parents: Create parents for base population

In arfesta/SimBreeder: Forward population breeding simulator

Description

This function creates the base population that can be used for testing further mating and selection strategies

Usage

create_parents(map.info, num.parents, max.delt.allele,
  heterozygous.markers = F, inbred.parents = F, QTL.sd = 0.25, save = F)

Arguments

map.info	The object returned from create_map function
num.parents	Number of parents that should be generated
max.delt.allele	The Maximum number of deleterious alleles any single parent can have
heterozygous.markers	logical. Should the markers for all parents be heterozygous? Default: FALSE
QTL.sd	A number providing the standard deviation of random QTL effects generated for the parents. Default: 0.25
save	logical. Saves the output of genetic map (Default: FALSE)

Examples

the.parents <- create_parents(map.info = the.map, num.parents = 96, max.delt.allele = 14)
