R: Simulating the evolution of biological sequences

scrm-package {scrm} | R Documentation

## Simulating the evolution of biological sequences

### Description

The Sequential Coalescent with Recombination Model (SCRM) is an approximation of the Ancestral Recombination Graph. It can be used to simulate the neutral evolution of chromosomes/biological sequences subject to possibly complicated population structure. The program scrm is an implementation of this model that is designed to act as an drop-in replacement for the widely adopted coalescent simulator ms. This package contains scrm along with an R interface.
