ComputationalGenomics/SimRA
Jun 2015 - Aug 2022
SimRA (Simulation based on Random-graphs Algorithms) is a framework for simulating generic and complex evolutionary scenarios of multiple populations with subdivision and admixture. The algorithm generates a network structure, called Ancestral Recombination Graph (ARG), that models coalescence and genetic exchange events (recombinations) with SNP as well as STR polymorphisms.
