This function exports genlight objects to the format used by the parentage assignment R package hiphop. Hiphop can be used for paternity and maternity assignment and outperforms conventional methods where closely related individuals occur in the pool of possible parents. The method compares the genotypes of offspring with any combination of potentials parents and scores the number of mismatches of these individuals at bi-allelic genetic markers (e.g. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms).
Value
Dataframe containing all the genotyped individuals (offspring and potential parents) and their genotypes scored using bi-allelic markers.
