TRUE
if symbol is a valid enumerated or founder allele;
FALSE
otherwise.
An enumerated allele/genotype is a number representing the order of
occurrence of raw or founder genotypes at a specific marker (e.g. '1'
for the first observed allele, '2'
for the second). Enumerated alleles
and genotypes are identical, regardless of ploidy. The process of enumerating
genotypes is done independently for each marker, so a given enumerated
genotype does not have the same meaning across markers.
A founder allele is a single letter corresponding to a specific founder
strain, indicating that the region containing the marker derives from that
founder. For example, 'W'
might be used to represent the Western
Africa founder strain DBVPG6044
, or 'S'
might be used for
the Sake strain Y12
).
For a given ploidy N
, a founder genotype is the concatenation of the
set of N
founder alleles. For example, given one founder allele
'W'
and another 'S'
, the founder genotype is 'WS'
.
