Inference of complex demographic histories typically requires parameterized models specified manually by the researcher. With an increased variety of methods and tools, each with its own interface, model specification becomes tedious and error-prone. Moreover, optimization algorithms used to find optimal parameters sometimes turn out to be inefficient. The open source software GADMA addresses these problems, providing automatic demographic inference. It proposes a common interface for several simulation engines and provides global optimization of parameters based on a genetic algorithm. Here, we introduce new features of GADMA2, the second version of the GADMA software. It has renovated core code base, new simulation engines, an updated optimization algorithm, and flexible specification of demographic history parameters. We provide a full overview of GADMA2 enhancements and demonstrate example of their usage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
