Simulated hybridization from same locus but different alleles with hybridize function in adegenet

Dear Benjamin,

I can?t offer a solution to your problems in Adegenet, but I can offer a work-around in the mean time. 

The software HYBRIDLAB by Nielsen et al 2006 can simulate purebred and hybrid genotypes and has been used to distinguish hybrid genotypes in fishes and trees (see references below). I think what you?re attempting is exactly what we did for the nemo story. I don?t think HYBRIDLAB is still supported but I can send you a copy. 

Adegenet would of course, be a much more elegant and flexible solution, though HYBRIDLAB certainly does the job. I would be keen to hear of the solution to your problems.

Regards, 

Hugo
