``msprime`` is a population genetics simulator

based on [tskit](https://tskit.dev). Msprime can simulate random

ancestral histories for a sample of individuals

(consistent with a given demographic model) under a

range of different models and evolutionary processes. Msprime can

also simulate mutations on a given ancestral

history (which can be produced by msprime or other programs

supporting [tskit](https://tskit.dev)) under

a variety of genome sequence evolution models.

Please see the [documentation](https://tskit.dev/msprime/docs/latest/) for

more details, including

[installation instructions](https://tskit.dev/msprime/docs/latest/installation.html).
