Simulation of Molecular Data under Diverse Evolutionary Scenarios

This study is intended for evolutionary biologists interested in strategies for the simulation of molecular data under diverse evolutionary scenarios. It begins with a brief background on simulation approaches and describes some of the most important simulators developed to date. Then, several practical examples for simulating particular scenarios are presented, and finally, details are given on a variety of relevant applications of simulated data. Overall, this study provides a practical guide for applying simulation techniques to real world problems in molecular evolution.
