Introduction

This is the documentation for slime, the local ancestry simulator.

Note

This documentation is incomplete and under development.

Under the hood, each slime simulation consists of 3 components:

  1. A forward-in-time simulation of admixture using SLiM.
  2. A backwards-in-time simulation of ancestral population history using msprime.
  3. Extraction of local ancestry from the resulting tree sequence.
