Computer simulations of population genetics --
I am seeking to survey the computer simulations of population genetics
that run forward in time, and that realistically model mutation rates
(with harmful and beneficial mutations), under selection and
reproduction. That is, the simulated offspring receive mutations,
followed by selection and sexual reproduction to form the next
generation. Any simulations that meet this general specification are
requested. Especially simulations from an academic, commericial, or
industrial setting, or simulations that have resulted in published
papers, or that are widely known.
Please direct me to those by providing the name of the simulation, a
person to contact, or a reference to a paper. There is quite a variety
of these simulations, and I don't want to miss any.
Wowww. This gives the impression that you have no idea of the size of
this field (these fields) and no idea where to start. Are you familiar
with search engines such as Google and citeseer?
These will direct you to published works primarily on the genetic
algorithm side -- ie (theory of) technical applications for
engineering/design purposes, more so than scientific population
genetics studies -- but you seem to be asking for that.
At a guess, between 1,000 and 10,000 papers per year published in this
area, so when you say you don't want to miss any ....
If you Google "site:citeseer.ist.psu.edu genetic algorithm" you get
28,300 hits
If you Google "site:citeseer.ist.psu.edu evolutionary simulation" you
get 4,600 hits

You will find most of these papers choose to account for the
generational cycle from a different starting point: (1) selection from
parental pool (2) recombination (unless asexual) (3) mutation (4)
resultant offspring into parental pool.
I am seeking to survey this field, to identify what has been done, and
not yet been done.
Because this is such an enormous field, any survey only makes sense if
done for some specific purpose, with an explicit agenda. Can you make
explicit your purpose?
