fastsimcoal 1.1.1

fastsimcoal - Fast sequential Markov coalescent simulation of genomic data.

Fast sequential Markov coalescent simulation of genomic data.

fastsimcoal is a small, simple, command prompt based application specially designed to help you efficiently generate genetic diversity for different types of markers along large genomic regions, for both present or ancient samples. It includes a parameter sampler allowing its integration into Bayesian or likelihood parameter estimation procedure.

fastsimcoal can handle very complex evolutionary scenarios including an arbitrary migration matrix between samples, historical events allowing for population resize, population fusion and fission, admixture events, changes in migration matrix, or changes in population growth rates. The time of sampling can be specified independently for each sample, allowing for serial sampling in the same or in different populations.
