Welcome to DISMaL’s documentation!

DISMaL is a Python package for inferring historical demographies (specifically, population sizes, gene flow, and split times) from sequence data. It is an implementation of the Generalised isolation-with-migration (GIM) model of Costa & Wilkinson-Herbots (2021). Please cite their paper if you use DISMaL in published work:

Rui J. Costa, Hilde M. Wilkinson-Herbots (2021). Inference of gene flow in the process of speciation: Efficient maximum-likelihood implementation of a generalised isolation-with-migration model. Theoretical Population Biology 140:1-15. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tpb.2021.03.001.

This package and its documentation is still a work in progress. Please inform us of any bugs or omissions by raising an issue on GitHub
