Welcome to GADMA’s documentation!¶
GADMA implements methods for automatic inferring the joint demographic history of multiple populations from genetic data.
GADMA is based on two open source packages: dadi developed by Ryan Gutenkunst and moments developed by Simon Gravel.
In contrast, GADMA is a command-line tool. It presents a series of launches of the genetic algorithm and infers demographic history from the Allele Frequency Spectrum of multiple populations (up to three).
Parameter file¶
A parameter file is a simple text file (created in a text editor, such as Notepad), which contains a list of parameters and variables with their assigned values. Create a parameter file that reflect your particular parameters. Hereinafter, as an example, the name of your parameter file will be defined as param_file
