############################################################################### # # Aevol - An in silico experimental evolution platform # ############################################################################### # # Aevol is a digital genetics model: populations of digital organisms are # subjected to a process of selection and variation, which creates a # Darwinian dynamics. # . # By modifying the characteristics of selection (e.g. population size, # type of environment, environmental variations) or variation (e.g. # mutation rates, chromosomal rearrangement rates, types of # rearrangements, horizontal transfer), one can study experimentally the # impact of these parameters on the structure of the evolved organisms. # In particular, since Aevol integrates a precise and realistic model of # the genome, it allows for the study of structural variations of the # genome (e.g. number of genes, synteny, proportion of coding sequences). # . # The simulation platform comes along with a set of tools for analysing # phylogenies and measuring many characteristics of the organisms and # populations along evolution. # ############################################################################### The complete documentation being quite heavy, it is not included in basic distributions. Please visit www.aevol.fr To take a quick tour, please take the following steps: 1) install aevol cd into the main dir ./configure make sudo make install (see INSTALL in the main dir or run ./configure --help for more information) NOTE: If you don't have sudo rights or simply don't want to install aevol just yet, skip the "sudo make install" step and run the executables "locally" with ../../src/aevol_create and ../../src/aevol_run 2) To run an example, cd into it then run: aevol_create aevol_run The first command will create an experiment with the parameters contained in the "param.in" file The second command will launch the simulation for 1000 generations (use --nbgener XXX or -n XXX to run for XXX generations) For more information, please see the manpages (e.g. man aevol_create), run any executable with the -h option (e.g. aevol_create -h) and ultimately visit www.aevol.fr
