ALF
A Simulation Framework for Genome Evolution
Artificial Life Framework (ALF) aims at simulating the entire range of evolutionary forces that act on genomes: nucleotide, codon, or amino acid substitution (under simple or mixture models), indels, GC-content amelioration, gene duplication, gene loss, gene fusion, gene fission, genome rearrangement, lateral gene transfer (LGT), or speciation. ALF is available as a stand-alone application and a user-friendly yet powerful web interface.
