WgSim question about haplotype mode

[jmartin]

Could someone tell me what the -h (haplotype mode) argument does for WgSim output? Does that simply tell WgSim to insert mutations following the expected model for haploid or diploid data? And if so what is the default? Is it producing diploid snps without the argument and haploid snps with the argument?

This is probably the obvious answer, but I didn't want to assume anything. And the wgsim -help explanation for it is pretty sparse.

Yes, homozygous snps always with -h. diploid is the default, so a chance for homo or het.

I know it's an old question but I having the same question brought me here, then read the source.
