Assigning VCF files to founders directly rather than randomly #20

Closed freshspaceoctopus closed 1 month ago

freshspaceoctopus commented 1 month ago

Hello,

I would like to assign VCF file founders directly to a pedigree rather than randomly assigning them to founders. Is there an internal way to do so? Or do I need to do this manually?

Funny you should be interested in this now. A student has been working on something along these lines and we could hopefully extend his work to be more user-friendly. (At the moment, it requires knowledge of how Ped-sim internally tracks simulated founders.) Let me find some time to work on this. I'm hopeful we could get this done within the next month. Wish I had more time to devote to this right away. I'll follow up.

That's great news! I wasn't familiar with C or anything programming related, so the only way was to create every parent pair manually...

Thank you for the wonderful simulator, and do let us know when you update the feature.
