0 = homozygous for first allele (alphabetically)
1 = heterozygous
2 = homozygous for second allele (alphabetically)
0 = homozygous for first allele 1 = heterozygous 2 = homozygous for second allele    Many ways to count, this is counting alphabetically….
These numbers could be fed directly into a relationship matrix,  just 0,1,and 2’s.
Major alleles, minor alleles… frequency, what is major in one breed, possibly not in another…
