Genetic Flash Simulations and Tutorials

Web PopGen  A population genetics simulation program that allows the user to change starting allele frequencies, migration rates, mutation rates, population size, genotypic fitness' etc. and observe the effects on allele frequency and genotype frequencies over time.  Similar to Simul8 and PopG only slower and more colorful.

EvolGenius: A Java based computer program that simulates microevolutionary change within a single population. It is base on an earlier version written in C++ by Rich Kliman. This allows for evaluation of more advanced simulations than is possible with Web PopGen.

Mutational equilibrium. Simulate various mutation rates and allele frequencies to examine the mutational equilibrium.

Dihybrid Cross: A simple flash movie demonstrating independent assortment of two genes on different chromosomes, and the Genotypic distributions of zygotes that lead to the 9:3:3:1 distribution of phenotypes. (Thanks to Rich Kliman for this idea)

 Chi-Square: allows you to test the observed phenotypic distribution against the expected phenotypic distribution of a dihybrid cross using the chi square test.

 Epistasis: generates random data sets and allows you to test how well the data fits a particular genetic model.

Human Cytogenetic Analysis:  Tutorial on karyotyping and interactive karyotyping simulations that allow the user to complete normal and abnormal karyotypes and make a diagnosis

Balanced Translocation:  Tutorial explaining the possible gametes formed from an individual carrying a balanced reciprocal translocation (under development)
