activate_ms

The path of the ms binary that will be used for simulations.

binary

The priority for this simulator. If multiple simulators
can simulate a model, the one with the highest priority will be used.

This adds the simulator 'ms' to the list of available simulators. In order
to use 'ms', you first need to download its sources from
<url>http://home.uchicago.edu/rhudson1/source/mksamples.html</url>
and compile the binary following the instructions in the package.

Coalescent simulators can rapidly simulate biological sequences
    evolving according to a given model of evolution.
    This package allows to specify such models, transparently calls a suitable
    simulator, parses the results and calculates additional summary statistics.
    It supports the simulators 'ms', 'msms' and 'scrm' and can simulate
    finite-sites mutation models by combining the simulators with the program
    'seq-gen'.
