Documentation for SLiM function mm16To256, which is a method of the SLiM class SLiMBuiltin. Note that the R function is a stub, it does not do anything in R (except bring up this documentation). It will only do anything useful when used inside a slim_block function further nested in a slim_script function call, where it will be translated into valid SLiM code as part of a full SLiM script.

mm16To256(mutationMatrix16)

Arguments

mutationMatrix16

An object of type float. See details for description.

Value

An object of type float.

Details

Documentation for this function can be found in the official SLiM manual: page 749.

Returns a 64×4 mutation matrix that is functionally identical to the supplied 4×4 mutation matrix in mutationMatrix16. The mutation rate for each of the 64 trinucleotides will depend only upon the central nucleotide of the trinucleotide, and will be taken from the corresponding entry for the same nucleotide in mutationMatrix16. This function can be used to easily construct a simple trinucleotide-based mutation matrix which can then be modified so that specific trinucleotides sustain a mutation rate that does not depend only upon their central nucleotide. See the documentation for initializeGenomicElementType() in section 25.1 for further discussion of how these 64×4 mutation matrices are interpreted and used.
