Removes specified loci from a dartR genlight object

Source: R/gl.drop.loc.r

This function deletes individuals and their associated metadata.

The script returns a dartR genlight object with the retained loci. The script works with both genlight objects containing SNP genotypes and Tag P/A data (SilicoDArT).

gl.drop.loc(
  x,
  loc.list = NULL,
  first_tmp = NULL,
  last_tmp = NULL,
  verbose = NULL
)

Arguments

x

Name of the genlight object [required].

loc.list

A list of loci to be deleted [required, if loc.range not specified].

first_tmp

First of a range of loci to be deleted [required, if loc.list not specified].

last_tmp

Last of a range of loci to be deleted [if not specified, last_tmp locus in the dataset].

verbose

Verbosity: 0, silent or fatal errors; 1, begin and end; 2, progress but not results; 3, progress and results summary; 5, full report [default 2 or as specified using gl.set.verbosity].

Value

A reduced dartR genlight object
