Creates new individuals with twice the ploidy. This function was created to model the formation of tetraploid potatoes from diploid potatoes. This function will work on any population.
Arguments
- pop
an object of 'Pop' superclass
- keepParents
should previous parents be used for mother and father.
- simParam
an object of 'SimParam' class
Value
Returns an object of Pop-class
Examples
#Create founder haplotypes
founderPop = quickHaplo(nInd=2, nChr=1, segSites=10)
#Set simulation parameters
SP = SimParam$new(founderPop)
SP$nThreads = 1L
#Create population
pop = newPop(founderPop, simParam=SP)
#Create individuals with doubled ploidy
pop2 = doubleGenome(pop, simParam=SP)
