R: Pool several genotypes into a single dataset

repool {adegenet} | R Documentation

## Pool several genotypes into a single dataset

### Description

The function `repool` allows to merge genotypes from different genind objects into a single 'pool' (i.e. a new genind). The markers have to be the same for all objects to be merged, but there is no constraint on alleles.

### Usage

    repool(..., list = FALSE)

### Arguments

`...` | a list of genind objects, or a series of genind objects separated by commas
`list` | a logical indicating whether a list of objects with matched alleles shall be returned (TRUE), or a single genind object (FALSE, default).

### Details

This function can be useful, for instance, when hybrids are created using `hybridize`, to merge hybrids with their parent population for further analyses. Note that `repool` can also reverse the action of `seppop`.

### Examples

    ## Not run:
    ## use the cattle breeds dataset
    data(microbov)
    temp <- seppop(microbov)
    names(temp)
    ## hybridize salers and zebu -- nasty cattle
    zebler <- hybridize(temp$Salers, temp$Zebu, n=40)
    zebler
    ## now merge zebler with other cattle breeds
    nastyCattle <- repool(microbov, zebler)
    nastyCattle
