sim.recomb: Simulate inheritance on a given pedigree.

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Description

sim.recomb returns inheritance information simulated on a given pedigree over the specified segment length.

Usage

1
sim.recomb(pedinfo, seglength)

Arguments

pedinfo

dataframe.

seglength

positive real number.

Details

pedinfo must contain at least the following components: unique individual ID named member, father and mother ID named father and mother, and sex (1 for male, 2 for female) named sex. Parents must precede offsprings. Pedigree founders are treated as unrelated.

seglength represents length of genomic segment in Haldane centiMorgan. Recombination breakpoints are simulated under a homogeneous Poisson process with rate seglength/100.

Value

A list of matrices for each meiosis. Each matrix has two columns: founder genome labels (fgl) and recombination breakpoints (recomb). Paternal meiosis precedes maternal meiosis.

father = as.character(c(NA, NA, 11, 11, 21))
mother = as.character(c(NA, NA, 12, 12, 22))
pedinfo = data.frame(pedigree, member, sex, father, mother, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)

# simulate inheritance over a segment of 100 centiMorgan
sim.recomb(pedinfo, 100)
