kernelpop, a spatially explicit population genetic simulation engine

摘要: Individual-based, spatially explicit models provide a mechanism to understand distributions of individuals on the landscape; however, few have been coupled with population genetics. The primary benefits such combination is assess performance population-genetic estimators in realistic situations. kernelpop represents flexible framework implement almost any arbitrary and demographic model context using variety dispersal kernels. Estimates type I error associated genome scans metapopulations are provided as an illustration this software's utility.
