create_iso_female {GenomeAdmixR}

function to simulate creation of an isofemale line

Description

create_isofemale simulates the creation of an isofemale line through extreme inbreeding.

Usage

create_iso_female(
  module = ancestry_module(),
  n = 1,
  inbreeding_pop_size = 100,
  run_time = 2000,
  num_threads = 1,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Arguments

module

Source population from which isofemales are generated

n

Number of isofemales to be generated

inbreeding_pop_size

Population size of the population used to generate homozygous individuals

run_time

Maximum runtime used for inbreeding

num_threads

number of threads. Default is 1. Set to -1 to use all available threads

verbose

Displays verbose output if TRUE. Default value is FALSE

Details

To create an isofemale, two individuals are randomly picked from the source population. Using these two individuals, a new population is seeded, of size inbreeding_pop_size. Then, this population is allowed to inbreed until either run_time is reached, or until all individuals are homozygous and genetically identical, whatever happens first.

Value

A list of length n, where each entry is a fully homozygous isofemale.
