This dataset represents 3 distinct populations of feral swine in the United States.
To make this dataset computationally efficient, only 3 chromosomes (12, 17, 18) from the pig genome were used.
Further, loci were reduced to the 100 most informative loci for distinguishing the 3 populations.
Each row of the genotype matrix includes the genotypes for a single individual.
The genotype matrix is in a standard "two-column" format for a diploid species
where two adjacent columns make up a locus and each column of a locus contains an allele.
Genotype data is stored in the character class.
Missing data is represented by NAs.
Individual IDs and population assignment information can be found in I_meta
Locus and chromosome information for genotypes can be found in M_meta
A character matrix. Each row represents an individual and columns contain the genotypes for individuals in a "two-column" format where two adjacent columns make up a locus with an allele in each column.
