🌿 Coalescent Explorer Interactive App
Dive into the fascinating world of evolutionary history, one simulation at a time! 🧬
💡 What is the Coalescent Explorer?
The Coalescent Explorer is an interactive app that brings population genetics to life.
Simulate site frequency spectra (SFS) and genealogical trees, and explore how key demographic forces—
like population growth, bottlenecks, migration, admixture, and population splits—
shape patterns of genetic diversity across generations.
You’ll gain intuition on how demographic and evolutionary processes leave their signatures in genetic data.
