ForensicEALite

If you like ForensicEALite, please take a look at the Domesticating Dogs and HIV Clock modules in the Evolution suite from SimBio. A sampler of SimBio’s products is available on request.

Phylogenetics simulation software for Evolutionary Analysis.

ForensicEALite lets the user explore the logic of phylogeny reconstruction. The program creates populations of virus particles. The populations evolve by genetic drift. The user can sample and complare nucleotide sequences from the populations. Various simulations let the user collect and analyze data on: genetic drift within a single population; divergence of populations by drift; and variation among populations on a known phylogeny.
