forqs is a forward-in-time simulator of recombination, quantitative traits, and selection.
This documentation provides details on the user-configurable modules available in forqs, including the parameters used to configure each module.
The simulator tracks individual haplotype chunks through a Wright-Fisher simulation with recombination and selection. Individual quantitative trait values are calculated from genotypes, and fitnesses are in turn calculated from quantitative trait values.
The simulation has a modular architecture to allow the user to specify (in SimulatorConfig):
In order to keep this module reference in sync with the software, this documentation is generated automatically from the forqs source code (using Doxygen).
