Pop lab

Population genetics simulations for the classroom.

Simulation applications

One locus forward in time

These applications simulate the classic one locus with two alleles scenario in one or more populations. They can be used to explore: drift, selection, mutation, migration and selfing. For more details use the applications or read their documentation.

Coalescence

The following set of applications simulate the evolution of a genomic region, with mutation, drift, recombination and selection, in different demographic scenarios using a coalescence approach. For more details read the coalescence simulation documentation
