GSR: Simulator - MetaPopGen

| Title | MetaPopGen |
| Short Description | Simulates genetics in large size metapopulations |
| Long Description | MetaPopGen is a population genetics simulator. Features included in the model are age-structure, monoecious and dioecious (or separate sexes) life-cycles, mutation, dispersal and selection. All demographic parameters can be genotype-, sex-, age-, deme- and time-dependent. MetaPopGen is therefore indicated to study large populations and very complex demographic scenarios. |
