codomToPropShared: Find proportion of shared alleles genetic distances from a...

In kkeenan02/memgeneMod: Spatial pattern detection in genetic distance data using Moran's Eigenvector Maps

Description

Given a matrix with two adjacent columns for each locus (e.g. LOCUS1a, LOCUS1b, LOCUS2a, LOCUS2b, ...) containing codominant alelles, where individual genotypes are in rows, find the proportion of shared alleles (Bowcock et al., 1994) among individuals using functions in the adegenet package.

This is a convenience function that wraps adegenet routines.

Note that any type of genetic distance matrix can be used in MEMGENE, and the proportion of shared alleles metric is not a requirement.

Usage

codomToPropShared(alleles, missingData = c(-98,-99), genind=FALSE)

Arguments

alleles	A matrix with two adjacent columns for each locus containing codominant alleles
missingData	A vector of any length giving the values in the alleles matrix representing missing data (NA also represents missing)
genind	Return a genind object rather than the proportion of shared alleles genetic distance matrix. A genind object can be used by various functions in the adegenet package.

Details

First prepares the alleles matrix into a format that can be converted using functions in the adegenet package to the genind format. propShared is then run on this object.

Value

Returns a genetic distance matrix using the proportion of shared alleles metric (Bowcock et al., 1994)
