clone.Chromosome {galgo} | R Documentation |
Clones itself and its genes. Objects in S3 and this package are passed by reference and any “pointer” to it will affect the original object. Therefore, you must clone an object first in order to preserve the original values.
## S3 method for class 'Chromosome' clone(.O, ...)
Returns a new cloned object.
