Remove potential bias caused by cloned genotypes in genind or genclone object.

This function removes any duplicated multilocus genotypes from any specified population strata.

Usage

clonecorrect(pop, strata = 1, combine = FALSE, keep = 1)

Arguments

pop: a genind, genclone, or snpclone object
strata: a hierarchical formula or numeric vector. This will define the columns of the data frame in the strata slot to use.
combine: logical. When set to TRUE, the strata will be combined to create a new population for the clone-corrected genind or genclone object.
keep: integer. When combine is set to FALSE, you can use this flag to choose the levels of your population strata. For example: if your clone correction strata is set to "Pop", "Subpop", and "Year", and you want to analyze your populations with respect to year, you can set keep = c(1,3).

Value

a clone corrected genclone, snpclone, or genind object.

Details

This function will clone correct based on the stratification provided. To clone correct indiscriminately of population structure, set strata = NA.

# Redefine it as a genclone object
Aeut <- as.genclone(Aeut)

# Check the number of multilocus genotypes
mlg(Aeut)

# Clone correct at the population level.

# LOAD H3N2 dataset
data(H3N2)

strata(H3N2) <- other(H3N2)$x

# Extract only the individuals located in China
country <- clonecorrect(H3N2, strata =  ~country)

# How many isolates did we have from China before clone correction?
sum(strata(H3N2, ~country) == "China") # 155

# How many unique isolates from China after clone correction?
sum(strata(country, ~country) == "China") # 79

# Something a little more complicated. (This could take a few minutes on
# slower computers)

# setting the hierarchy to be Country > Year > Month
c.y.m <- clonecorrect(H3N2, strata =  ~year/month/country)

# How many isolates in the original data set?
nInd(H3N2) # 1903

# How many after we clone corrected for country, year, and month?
nInd(c.y.m) # 1190
