Write a genepopedit flatten object

Write a genepopedit object from a tidy data frame or GDS file/object.

Why not use genepopedit::genepop_flatten?

genepopedit requires a specific type of genepop, so if you don't want to manipulate your genepop file, radiator is an alternative.
radiator follows guidelines highlighted here: genepop format, but the 3 functions in radiator that reads genepop files:
1. genome_translator
2. tidy_genome
3. the underlying module: read_genepop
imports a larger variety of genepop alternatives, similarly to adegenet read.genepop function, only faster.

Usage

write_genepopedit(data)

Arguments

data: A supported genomic file, object, or tidy genomic data frame. Default: data = NULL.

Value

A genepopedit object in the global environment.

Data filtering

This writer does not silently filter markers or individuals. It may validate requirements imposed by the destination format and stop with an informative error when the input is unsuitable. It is the user's responsibility to filter and quality-control the data appropriately for the intended analysis before generating the output. Use radr or another suitable workflow when filtering is required.

Dependencies

Required package dependencies are declared in DESCRIPTION and are installed with genometranslator. Any additional dependency needed only for this format or option is identified in this help page. Use genometranslator_dependencies() to inspect the availability of core packages, optional packages, and external executables.
