Recomb – Simulate Genetic Datasets with Recombination Rates Changing Over Time

Recomb

:: DESCRIPTION

The program ms_recomb, a modified version of Richard Hudson’s ms, uses the coalescent to simulate genetic datasets with recombination rates that change through time.

The program msstats_recomb, an extensively modified version of Kevin Thornton’s msstats, implements n-tuple subsampling and calculates a suite of summary statistics with specific focus on recombination events
