Simulation parameters

Notation Description
N Number of organisms in the population (population size).
L Length (number of bases) of genome of each organism in the population.
n d Number of descendants each organism produces in a single round of reproduction.
P m Probability of mutation per base.
P ti Probability that an occurred mutation will be a transition mutation.
W = (W j | j∈[1,L]) Selection weights of nucleotides in each position, where W j = (w jA, w jG, w jC, w jT), W j(B) = w jB, B∈{A,G,C,T}—selection weight of the corresponding nucleotide B in j-th position.
