Converts a genlight objects into hiphop format

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).

Usage

gl2hiphop(x, verbose = NULL)

Arguments

x

Name of the genlight object containing the SNP data [required].

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

Dataframe containing all the genotyped individuals (offspring and potential parents) and their genotypes scored using bi-allelic markers.
