Assign parent alleles randomly

Description

Assign parent alleles randomly

Usage

assignAlleles(alleles, parentType, parent, id, n)

Arguments

alleles	a list with a list alleles$alleles, which is a list of list containing the alleles for each individual's sire and dam that have been assigned thus far and alleles$counter that is the counter used to track the lists ofalleles$alleles.
parentType	character vector of length one with value of "sire" or "dam".
parent	either ped[id, "sire"] or ped[id, "dam"].
id	character vector of length one containing the animal ID
n	integer indicating the number of iterations to simulate. Default is 5000.

Value

The original list alleles passed into the function with newly randomly assigned alleles to each id based on dam and sire genotypes.

Examples

alleles <- list(alleles = list(), counter = 1)
alleles <- assignAlleles(alleles, parentType = "sire", parent = NA,
                         id = "o1", n = 4)
alleles
alleles <- assignAlleles(alleles, parentType = "dam", parent = NA,
                         id = "o1", n = 4)
