The spatially explicit simulation framework can account for environmental heterogeneity and fluctuations, and it can manage multiple population sources. A coalescent-based approach is used to generate genetic markers mostly used in population genetics studies (DNA sequences, SNPs, STRs or RFLPs). Various combinations of independent, fully or partially linked genetic markers can be produced under a recombination model based on the ancestral recombination graph. Competition between two populations (or species) can also be simulated with user-defined levels of admixture between the two populations. SPLATCHE2 may be used to generate the expected genetic diversity under complex demographic scenarios and can thus serve to test null hypotheses. For model parameter estimation, SPLATCHE2 can easily be integrated into an Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) framework.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: SPLATCHE2 is a C++ program compiled for Windows and Linux platforms. It is freely available at www.splatche.com, together with its related documentation and example data.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0mathias.currat@unige.ch<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btq579","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,11,16]],"date-time":"2010-11-16T12:32:59Z","timestamp":1289910779000},"page":"2993-2994","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":107,"title":["SPLATCHE2: a spatially explicit simulation framework for complex demography, genetic admixture and recombination"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Nicolas","family":"Ray","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 EnviroSPACE laboratory, Climate Change and Climate Impacts, Institute for Environmental Sciences, University of Geneva, Battelle - Building D, 7 route de Drize, 1227 Carouge, 2Laboratory of Anthropology, Genetics and Peopling History, Department of Anthropology, University of Geneva, 1227 Geneva, 3Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Lab (CMPG), Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Berne, Baltzerstrasse 6, 3012 Berne and 4Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}]},{"given":"Mathias","family":"Currat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 EnviroSPACE laboratory, Climate Change and Climate Impacts, Institute for Environmental Sciences, University of Geneva, Battelle - Building D, 7 route de Drize, 1227 Carouge, 2Laboratory of Anthropology, Genetics and Peopling History, Department of Anthropology, University of Geneva, 1227 Geneva, 3Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Lab (CMPG), Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Berne, Baltzerstrasse 6, 3012 Berne and 4Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}]},{"given":"Matthieu","family":"Foll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 EnviroSPACE laboratory, Climate Change and Climate Impacts, Institute for Environmental Sciences, University of Geneva, Battelle - Building D, 7 route de Drize, 1227 Carouge, 2Laboratory of Anthropology, Genetics and Peopling History, Department of Anthropology, University of Geneva, 1227 Geneva, 3Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Lab (CMPG), Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Berne, Baltzerstrasse 6, 3012 Berne and 4Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"},{"name":"1 EnviroSPACE laboratory, Climate Change and Climate Impacts, Institute for Environmental Sciences, University of Geneva, Battelle - Building D, 7 route de Drize, 1227 Carouge, 2Laboratory of Anthropology, Genetics and Peopling History, Department of Anthropology, University of Geneva, 1227 Geneva, 3Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Lab (CMPG), Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Berne, Baltzerstrasse 6, 3012 Berne and 4Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}]},{"given":"Laurent","family":"Excoffier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 EnviroSPACE laboratory, Climate Change and Climate Impacts, Institute for Environmental Sciences, University of Geneva, Battelle - Building D, 7 route de Drize, 1227 Carouge, 2Laboratory of Anthropology, Genetics and Peopling History, Department of Anthropology, University of Geneva, 1227 Geneva, 3Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Lab (CMPG), Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Berne, Baltzerstrasse 6, 3012 Berne and 4Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"},{"name":"1 EnviroSPACE laboratory, Climate Change and Climate Impacts, Institute for Environmental Sciences, University of Geneva, Battelle - Building D, 7 route de Drize, 1227 Carouge, 2Laboratory of Anthropology, Genetics and Peopling History, Department of Anthropology, University of Geneva, 1227 Geneva, 3Computational and Molecular Population Genetics Lab (CMPG), Institute of Ecology and Evolution, University of Berne, Baltzerstrasse 6, 3012 Berne and 4Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, 1015 Lausanne, Switzerland"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023012507525517900_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2025","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/162.4.2025","article-title":"Approximate Bayesian computation in population genetics","volume":"162","author":"Beaumont","year":"2002","journal-title":"Genetics"},{"key":"2023012507525517900_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e421","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pbio.0020421","article-title":"Modern humans did not admix with Neanderthals during their range expansion into Europe","volume":"2","author":"Currat","year":"2004","journal-title":"PLoS Biol."},{"key":"2023012507525517900_B3","first-page":"679","article-title":"The effect of the Neolithic expansion on European molecular diversity","volume":"272","author":"Currat","year":"2005","journal-title":"Proc.
