quantiNEMO is an individual-based program for the analysis of quantitative traits with explicit genetic architecture potentially under selection in a structured population.

Study selection effects with this simulation. quantiNEMO is a handy, simple, genetically explicit stochastic simulation. This application was developed to investigate the effects of selection, mutation, recombination, and drift on quantitative traits with varying architectures in structured populations connected by migration and located in a heterogeneous habitat.

quantiNEMO is highly flexible at various levels: population, selection, trait(s) architecture, genetic map for QTL and/or markers, environment, demography, mating system, etc.

quantiNEMO is a console program, and is coded in standard C++ using an object oriented approach. This allows compiling quantiNEMO on any computer platform which supports standard C++ compilation. There is no limit on the number of populations,
individuals, genes, etc that quantiNEMO can handle, apart from the available hardware capacities (CPU and memory). quantiNEMO was optimized for high computation efficiency in particular for large simulations on clusters. quantiNEMO is built on the evolutionary and population genetics programming framework NEMO (Guillaume and Rougemont, 2006), with well developed demographic models. The demographic models of NEMO were kept, although several of these functionalities were re-coded, respectively adapted to the new functionalities of quantiNEMO.
