# Aevol - An in silico experimental evolution platform
#
###############################################################################
#
# Aevol is a digital genetics model: populations of digital organisms are
# subjected to a process of selection and variation, which creates a
# Darwinian dynamics.
# .
# By modifying the characteristics of selection (e.g. population size,
# type of environment, environmental variations) or variation (e.g.
# mutation rates, chromosomal rearrangement rates, types of
# rearrangements, horizontal transfer), one can study experimentally the
# impact of these parameters on the structure of the evolved organisms.
# In particular, since Aevol integrates a precise and realistic model of
# the genome, it allows for the study of structural variations of the
# genome (e.g. number of genes, synteny, proportion of coding sequences).
# .
# The simulation platform comes along with a set of tools for analysing
# phylogenies and measuring many characteristics of the organisms and
# populations along evolution.

The complete documentation being quite heavy, it is not included in basic
distributions. Please visit www.aevol.fr
To take a quick tour, please take the following steps:
1) install aevol
cd into aevol main dir
./configure
make
sudo make install
(see INSTALL in the main dir or run ./configure --help for more information)
NOTE: If you don't have sudo rights or simply don't want to install aevol
just yet, skip the "sudo make install" step and run the executables "locally"
with ../../src/aevol_create and ../../src/aevol_run
2) To run an example, cd into it then run:
aevol_create
aevol_run
The first command will create an experiment with the parameters contained
in the "param.in" file
The second command will launch the simulation for 1000 generations
(use --nb-timesteps XXX or -n XXX to run for XXX generations)
For more information, please see the manpages (e.g. man aevol_create), run any
executable with the -h option (e.g. aevol_create -h) and ultimately visit
www.aevol.fr
