METApopulation SIMulation

1.01

an R package that uses an individual-based approach to simulate distributions of genotypes that result from arbitrary within and among population demographies (including extinction/recolonization). These distributions can be used to test new or existing population-genetics summary statistics or develop “null” distributions under various demographies.
