CoaSim is a tool for simulating the coalescent
process with recombination and gene conversion
under the assumption of exponential population
growth. It efficiently constructs the ancestral
recombination graph for a given number of
individuals and uses this to simulate samples of
SNP and micro satellite haplotypes/genotypes. The
generated sample can afterwards be separated in
cases and controls, depending on the states of
selected individual markers. The tool can
accordingly also be used to construct cases and
control data sets for association studies.
