Title mbs
Short Description modifying Hudson's ms software to generate samples of DNA sequences with a biallelic site under selection
Long Description A software application to generate samples of DNA sequences when there is a biallelic site targeted by selection. mbs is developed by modifying Hudson's ms. The mbs software is so flexible that it can incorporate any arbitrary histories of population size changes and any mode of selection as long as selection is operating on a biallelic site.
