Write data records

Description

Saves a population's phenotypic and marker data to a directory.

Usage

writeRecords(
  pop,
  dir,
  snpChip = 1,
  useQtl = FALSE,
  includeHaplo = FALSE,
  append = TRUE,
  simParam = NULL
)

Arguments

pop

an object of Pop-class

dir

path to a directory for saving output

snpChip

which SNP chip genotype to save. If useQtl=TRUE, this value will indicate which trait's QTL genotype to save. A value of 0 will skip writing a snpChip.

useQtl

should QTL genotype be written instead of SNP chip genotypes.

includeHaplo

should markers be separated by female and male haplotypes.

append

if true, new records are added to any existing records. If false, any existing records are deleted before writing new records. Note that this will delete all files in the 'dir' directory.

simParam

an object of SimParam
