|---|
Summary:MODELER4SIMCOAL2 (M4S2) is an extensible graphical tool to model linked loci and population demographies. M4S2 is easy to use, allowing for the modeling of complicated scenarios, making coalescent simulation modeling accessible to biologists with limited computer skills. The software includes an extension system allowing for new models to be created, published and downloaded from the Internet.
Availability: M4S2 is available from http://popgen.eu/soft/m4s2 under a GPL license. The website also contains guides, screen shots and tutorials.
