nprcgenekeepr (version 1.0.5)

getAncestors: Recursively create a character vector of ancestors for an individual ID.

Description

Part of Pedigree Sampling From PedigreeSampling.R 2016-01-28

Usage

getAncestors(id, ptree)

Arguments

id

character vector of length 1 having the ID of interest

ptree

a list of lists forming a pedigree tree as constructed by createPedTree(ped) where ped is a standard pedigree dataframe.

Value

A character vector of ancestors for an individual ID.

Details

Contains functions to build pedigrees from sub-samples of genotyped individuals.

The goal of sampling is to reduce the number of inbreeding loops in the resulting pedigree, and thus, reduce the amount of time required to perform calculations with SIMWALK2 or similar programs.

Examples

Run this code
# NOT RUN {
library(nprcgenekeepr)
ped <- nprcgenekeepr::qcPed
ped <- qcStudbook(ped, minParentAge = 0)
pedTree <- createPedTree(ped)
pedLoops <- findLoops(pedTree)
ids <- names(pedTree)
allAncestors <- list()

for (i in seq_along(ids)) {
  id <- ids[[i]]
  anc <- getAncestors(id, pedTree)
  allAncestors[[id]] <- anc
}
head(allAncestors)
countOfAncestors <- unlist(lapply(allAncestors, length))
idsWithMostAncestors <-
  names(allAncestors)[countOfAncestors == max(countOfAncestors)]
allAncestors[idsWithMostAncestors]
# }
# NOT RUN {
# }
