Model for substitution rate heterogeneity, default is None.
gillespie : bool, optional
If True, the Gillespie algorithm is used instead of constructing the exchange probability matrix P via matrix diagonalization.

Methods

def evolve_along_tree(self, tree, start_length=200, start_seq=None)

Evolve sequence along a tree.

If 'start_seq' is not supplied, then the sequence at the root is constructed randomly using the stationary probabilities of the specified substitution model.

Parameters

tree : Tree
The tree along which sequences are simulated.
start_length : int, optional
The length of the sequence at the root. The default is 200. This parameter is ignored when 'start_seq' is supplied.
start_seq : str, optional
The start sequence for the root of the tree. The default is None, in which case a sequence is constructed at random.

Returns

dict
A dict containing the TreeNode instances in the tree as keys and the simulated sequences as values (instances of type EvoSeq).
