Abstract
Summary: A Monte Carlo computer program is available to generate samples drawn from a population evolving according to a Wright–Fisher neutral model. The program assumes an infinite-sites model of mutation, and allows recombination, gene conversion, symmetric migration among subpopulations, and a variety of demographic histories. The samples produced can be used to investigate the sampling properties of any sample statistic under these neutral models. Availability: The source code for the program (in the language C) is available at http://home.uchicago.edu/~rhudson1/source/mksamples.html. Contact: rr-hudson@uchicago.edu
