Title: Genetic Drift Simulator
Post by: EricL on April 26, 2006, 12:49:23 PM

Just a cool little program that allows for simulating how long it takes for an allele in a two-allele, single loci genome to drift (or be selected) to fixation as a function of population size, starting percentage in the population and a bunch of other stuff.  Intetersting to those interested in the impact of genetic drift and different selection pressures on variation.

I've tried in from three different computers, inlcuding my neighbor's.  Works great, so it's not a cached credentials thing or anything like that.  It IS an FTP URL.  Are you implicitly specifying credentials or something?

The link is:   ftp://evolution.gs.washington.edu/pub/popgen/popg.html (http://ftp://evolution.gs.washington.edu/pub/popgen/popg.html)

It works at the library.  It might just be my computer.
