Assigning VCF files to founders directly rather than randomly #20

Open freshspaceoctopus opened 3 months 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.

Reopening this. Hoping to have a version that does this this month!
