seq-gen

Description

Seq-Gen is a program that will simulate the evolution of nucleotide or
amino acid sequences along a phylogeny. Seq-Gen is a program that will
simulate the evolution of nucleotide or amino acid sequences along a
phylogeny, using common models of the substitution process. A range of
models of molecular evolution are implemented including the general
reversible model. State frequencies and other parameters of the model
may be given and site-specific rate heterogeneity may also be
incorporated in a number of ways. Any number of trees may be read in and
the program will produce any number of data sets for each tree. Thus
large sets of replicate simulations can be easily created. It has been
designed to be a general purpose simulator that incorporates most of the
commonly used (and computationally tractable) models of molecular
sequence evolution.
