MSMS: a coalescent simulation program including recombination, demographic structure and selection at a single locus
نویسندگان
چکیده
MOTIVATION We have implemented a coalescent simulation program for a structured population with selection at a single diploid locus. The program includes the functionality of the simulator ms to model population structure and demography, but adds a model for deme- and time-dependent selection using forward simulations. The program can be used, e.g. to study hard and soft selective sweeps in structured populations or the genetic footprint of local adaptation. The implementation is designed to be easily extendable and widely deployable. The interface and output format are compatible with ms. Performance is comparable even with selection included. AVAILABILITY The program is freely available from http://www.mabs.at/ewing/msms/ along with manuals and examples. The source is freely available under a GPL type license.

Cosi2: an efficient simulator of exact and approximate coalescent with selection
MOTIVATION Efficient simulation of population genetic samples under a given demographic model is a prerequisite for many analyses. Coalescent theory provides an efficient framework for such simulations, but simulating longer regions and higher recombination rates remains challenging. Simulators based on a Markovian approximation to the coalescent scale well, but do not support simulation of sel...
متن کاملPopPlanner: visually constructing demographic models for simulation
UNLABELLED Currently there are a number of coalescent simulation programs that support a wide range of features, such as arbitrary demographic models, migration, and sub structure. Defining the model is done typically with either text files or command line switches. Although this has proven to be a powerful method of defining models of high complexity, it is often error prone and difficult to r...
متن کاملThe Effects of Demographic History and Selection on Patterns of Polymorphism
The effect of demographic history on patterns of polymorphism at a locus can seriously impede the detection of selection. Sliding window analysis of Tajima’s D was performed on sequence data available for Picea abies. The distribution of Tajima’s D was compared to coalescent simulations of different demographic scenarios. A growth model including some population differentiation was found to exp...
متن کاملSIMCOAL 2.0: a program to simulate genomic diversity over large recombining regions in a subdivided population with a complex history
UNLABELLED We present an extension of the program SIMCOAL, which allows for simulation of the genomic diversity of samples drawn from a set of populations with arbitrary patterns of migrations and complex demographic histories, including bottlenecks and various modes of demographic expansion. The main additions to the previous version include the possibility of arbitrary and heterogeneous recom...
