Ethos¶
In phylogenetics, standard practice is to simulate independent gene trees and force mutations onto them. In ipcoal, we instead simulate the spatial arrangement gene trees along chromosomes.
As a tool for research and teaching, it was important to us that ipcoal is person-friendly. To that aim, we made our tool accessible, reproducible, and transparent. Explore the documentation below and give it a try.
Our goals¶
Accessible: Easy to install and easy to use, with documentation and cookbooks.
Reproducible: Designed for interactive use in Jupyter notebooks for easy sharing.
Transparent: Read our code and make it your own.
