gl.keep.pop {dartR}

Removes all but the specified populations from a genlight object

Description

Individuals are assigned to populations based on the specimen metadata data file (csv) used with gl.read.dart().

The script, having deleted the specified populations, optionally identifies resultant monomorphic loci or loci with all values missing and deletes them (using gl.filter.monomorphs.r). The script also optionally recalculates statistics made redundant by the deletion of individuals from the dataset.

The script returns a genlight object with the new population assignments and the recalculated locus metadata.

Usage

gl.keep.pop(
  x,
  pop.list,
  as.pop = NULL,
  recalc = FALSE,
  mono.rm = FALSE,
  verbose = NULL
)

Arguments

x

Name of the genlight object containing the SNP or presence/absence (SilicoDArT) data [required].

pop.list

A list of populations to be kept [required].

as.pop

Assign another metric to represent population [default NULL].

recalc

Recalculate the locus metadata statistics [default FALSE].

mono.rm

Remove monomorphic loci [default FALSE].

verbose

Verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2, progress log; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report [default 2 or as specified using gl.set.verbosity]

Value

A genlight object with the reduced data
