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.
