This study introduces two FORTRAN programs for simulating DNA sequence evolution using customizable models. These tools efficiently generate nucleotide substitutions under various evolutionary scenarios, offering reproducible or non-repeatable simulations.

Area of Science:

  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Evolution
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Understanding DNA sequence evolution is crucial for phylogenetic analysis and molecular clock estimations.
  • Existing models often lack flexibility in simulating nucleotide composition and substitution biases.
  • Simulating evolutionary processes computationally aids in hypothesis testing and model validation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present two user-friendly FORTRAN programs for simulating DNA sequence evolution.
  • To implement a general stochastic model accommodating arbitrary nucleotide composition and transition-transversion bias.
  • To enable the simulation of sequence evolution along user-defined phylogenetic trees.

Main Methods:

  • Development of menu-driven FORTRAN programs.

  • Implementation of a general stochastic model for DNA sequence evolution.
  • Incorporation of user-defined parameters for nucleotide composition, transition-transversion bias, and tree topology.
  • Utilizing pseudo-random number generation for simulations.

    • Main Results:

    • The programs provide a computationally efficient method for generating nucleotide substitutions.
    • Simulations can be tailored to specific evolutionary models and phylogenetic structures.
    • The software allows for both reproducible and non-repeatable simulation runs.
    • User-defined stationary nucleotide composition and transition-transversion bias are supported.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed FORTRAN programs offer a flexible and efficient tool for simulating DNA sequence evolution.
    • These programs facilitate the study of molecular evolution under diverse and user-specified conditions.
    • The ability to define arbitrary models and trees enhances their utility in bioinformatics research.
