This project hosts different pieces of software from the Posada lab previously distributed from htpp://darwin.uvigo.es.

SNPsim

SNPsim is a population genetic simulator that generates samples of SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) haplotypes and diploid biallelic genotypes. It is based on the coalescent with recombination (Hudson 1983) modified by Wiuf and Posada (2003) to include recombination hotspots. SNPsim also allows for the specification of demographic periods and different mutation models.

Current version 0.8

Operative systems Source code and a makefile are provided for compilation in any OS with a C compiler.
