*fixed bug in mergePops and [ (subset)
methods - they were failing for populations that had a misc slot with a
matrix - we now check if a misc slot element is a matrix and rbind them
for mergePops and subset rows for [ (assuming
the first dimension represents individuals)
*exported meanEBV and added varEBV to
complement meanP/varP and
meanG/varG
*Changed all parameters of the CATTLE demographic model to exactly match Macleod et al. (2013) - specifically reducing the mutation rate from 2.5e-8 (from human literature) to 1.2e-8 (used in Macleod et al., 2013) and recombination rate from 1e-8 (generic) to 9.26e-9 (used in Macleod et al., 2013). These changes will reduce number of segregating sites to ~240K per chromosome for 100 samples and will run faster.

of individuals (like nInd)
