There are lots of population genetics simulators available as both standalone programs and online offerings. However, I decided that I wanted to make my own. So here is my Fisher-Wright model
basic population genetics simulator. I thought it might be a fun way to try out a new package
called “shiny”. Shiny is a package from
the developers of RStudio. It provides
an easy way to create interactive web pages that draw on R for generating the
displayed content. These can be run
locally by anyone that has the Shiny package installed or you can set up a
shiny server and host them as webpages that will use an instance of R on the
server to generate the displayed content.
So here is what it looks like in action:
This isn't on the CRAN version of evobiR yet but if you want to play with it you can get it by installing through GitHub.
install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("evobir", username='coleoguy')
library(evobiR)
ViewEvo("wf.model")
cheers!
