SPAms - help to build up ms simulation


SPAms (Simulation Program for the Analysis of ms)

SPAms is a user-friendly interface for simulating genetic data under several demographic scenarios. It uses the ms program, developed by Richard Hudson (2002), as an engine for simulating the genetic data. The program ms can be downloaded below or from Hudson's webpage . SPAms was written using MATLAB. Thus, depending on whether you have MATLAB installed or not, the files needed to run SPAms are different. The downladable package is thus divided in several files. But you do not need to have MATLAB to run SPAms. IF YOU HAVE MATLAB : you should NOT need the MCR Installer file. There is a set of examples for which we provide the R scripts (to analyse the outputs). We recommend that you read the user guide file before starting to use the program. Do not start with large number of simulations and large data sets before you understand how much memory and time you will need to carry out your simulations.
