Patch-Drive-Simulator-cbutler112358 0.0.1

A spatially explicit, patch-based gene drive simulator.

Patch Drive Simulator (PaDS)

This program simulates gene drive spreading in a population of organisms over a patch-based landscape. The user specifies population, drive, and system parameters in a .yaml file. Upon completion, a .yaml file is returned containing the target population size after a user-defined number of generations.

The program can be installed directly via GitHub or on the command line as follows:

1. Navigate to the location of patch_drive_simulator.py
2. To install using pip, type:

py run_patch_drive.py -i input_file.yaml -o output_file.yaml

on a Windows machine and

python3 run_patch_drive.py -i input_file.yaml -o output_file.yaml

on macOS/Unix.

Important note: Line 4 in run_patch_drive.py must be changed to point to the modules located on the user's systems. Future versions will correct for this. See the corresponding final report for more information on this.
