SequencesToGenind: Importing data from an alignement of sequences to a genind object

Description

These functions take an alignement of sequences and translate SNPs into a genind object. Note that only polymorphic loci are retained.

Currently, accepted sequence formats are:
- DNAbin (ape package): function DNAbin2genind
- alignment (seqinr package): function alignment2genind

Usage

DNAbin2genind(x, pop=NULL, exp.char=c("a","t","g","c"), polyThres=1/100)
alignment2genind(x, pop=NULL, exp.char=c("a","t","g","c"), na.char="-",
                 polyThres=1/100)

Value

an object of the class genind

Arguments

x

an object containing aligned sequences.

pop

an optional factor giving the population to which each sequence belongs.

exp.char

a vector of single character providing expected values; all other characters will be turned to NA.

na.char

a vector of single characters providing values that should be considered as NA. If not NULL, this is used instead of exp.char.

polyThres

the minimum frequency of a minor allele for a locus to be considered as polymorphic (defaults to 0.01).
