In yet another shameless promotion exercise I would like to present a easy to use interface in the area of coalescent simulation:
modeler4simcoal2 (m4s2) is a modeler for coalescent processes. It allows the modeling of both demographies and chromosomes (i.e., markers with linkage relationships in multiple chromosome blocks).
m4s2 is a Java Web Start application (requiring Java 1.4, available for Windows, Mac and Linux among others). It requires no installation and can be run directly from the web.
The purpose of m4s2 is to allow biologists to concentrate more on biology and the underlying models used on analysis (and less on having to learn a new computer simulation tools). We expect that m4s2 will lower the barrier for coalescent simulator use.
m4s2 was published on Bioinformatics.
