SLiM 2: scriptable, interactive, fast evolutionary modeling

Authors: Benjamin C. Haller, Philipp W. Messer Source code: SLiM home page License: GPL

Abstract: Individual-based, genetically-explicit modeling is an essential tool for connecting empirical population genetic patterns to hypotheses about evolutionary process. For example, such models can help answer questions about past demographic history, the forces of spatial and temporal selection acting on a population, and the genetic architecture underlying traits. SLiM 2 is a software package that makes constructing and running these models easy. SLiM models are extremely scriptable, allowing a huge diversity of models to be implemented, and they can run on both Linux and macOS, including on computing clusters for maximal performance. On macOS an interactive modeling environment, SLiMgui, is provided for rapid model development and graphical debugging; this can also make a great teaching tool for interactive labs in population genetics. At the Software Bazaar I can give you a demo of SLiM, or even do some quick modeling of your system with you if you like.

Thank you for your submission to the Software Bazaar! We've included you on the list of presenters for June 24, 6-8 pm (same time and place as first Evolution poster session). There will be tables, power sources, and signs available. Please let us know if you have any questions!

Hi Kate. Thanks for this. In the past, I have had my laptop set up in the software bazaar during all of the poster sessions, and that proved quite worthwhile – I was busy the whole time. Will that be possible this year, or are there so many people wanting to participate in the bazaar that table space is limited? If so, can the space perhaps be expanded? Given that the demand was clearly there in the past, it would be a shame if I were not able to be set up during all the sessions.

Cheers, -B.

Thanks for your patience, @bhaller, and for your inquiries about continuing to spread the love of the Software Bazaar throughout Evolution! We have only secured tables and power sources (through the main Evolution meeting and the conference center) for the first night's poster session, so we can't ensure that there will be space, etc for the other nights. The issue isn't space (see other presenters here), but knowing that folks are busy during conferences. That being said, I would be happy to check with the organizers to see if we can have more informal meetings during other poster sessions as well. This might actually work well for other folks who might have a conflict during the first poster session!

That would be great; thanks for offering to check! Yes, last year it was busy during every poster session, not just for me but for other folks as well, so I think it is worth doing.

Cheers, -B.
