scrm-package

The Sequential Coalescent with Recombination Model (SCRM) is an
approximation of the Ancestral Recombination Graph. It can be used to
simulate the neutral evolution of chromosomes/biological sequences
subject to possibly complicated population structure.
The program scrm is an implementation of this model that is designed to
act as an drop-in replacement for the widely adopted coalescent simulator
ms. This package contains scrm along with a convinient R interface.

A coalescent simulator that allows the rapid simulation of
biological sequences under neutral models of evolution. Different to
other coalescent based simulations, it has an optional approximation
parameter that allows for high accuracy while maintaining a linear run time
cost for long sequences. It is optimized for simulating massive data sets as
produced by Next-Generation Sequencing technologies for up to several thousand
sequences.
