read.ATetra {polysat}

Read File in ATetra Format

Description

Given a file formatted for the software ATetra, read.ATetra produces a genambig object containing genotypes, population identities, population names, and a dataset description from the file. Ploidy in the genambig object is automatically set to 4.

Usage

read.ATetra(infile)

Arguments

infile

Character string. A file path to the file to be read.

Details

read.ATetra reads text files in the exact format specified by the ATetra documentation. Note that this format only allows tetraploid data and that there can be no missing data.

Value

A genambig object as described above.
