    Parameters
    ----------
    dupl_rate : float, optional
        Duplication rate, default is 0.0.
    loss_rate : float, optional
        Loss rate, default is 0.0.
    hgt_rate : float, optional
        Horizontal gene transfer rate, default is 0.0.
    gc_rate : float, optional
        Gene conversion rate, default is 0.0.
    dupl_polytomy : float, optional
        Allows non-binary duplication events by specifying the lambda
        parameter for a poisson distribution (copy number =
        drawn number + 2); default is 0.0.
    prohibit_extinction : str or bool, optional 
        Avoid the extinction of all members in any species ('per_species'),
        of the complete gene family ('per_family'), or no constraints
        (False); default is 'per_species'.
    replace_prob : float, optional
        Enables replacing HGT events, probability by which one random
        homolog in the receiving branch of the receiving branch gets lost
        immediately after the transfer.
    additive_transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
        Specifies whether closer related species have a higher probability
        to be the recipient species in an additive HGT event. The default
        is False, in which case the recipient species is chosen at random
        among the co-existing species. The options 'inverse' and
        'exponential' mean that a species branch is sampled weighted by
        1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time between
        the last common ancestor of the two species branches and the time of
        the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
    replacing_transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
        Specifies whether closer related gene branches have a higher
        probability to be replaced in a replacing HGT event. The default
        is False, in which case the replaced gene is chosen at random
        among the co-existing gene branches. The options 'inverse' and
        'exponential' mean that a gene branch is sampled weighted by
        1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time between
        the last common ancestor of the two gene branches and the time of the
        event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
    transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
        Set a common bias mode for additive and replacing HGT, see
        description of parameters 'additive_transfer_distance_bias' and
        'replacing_transfer_distance_bias'. If the latter are no set to
        the default (False), then these optioned are prioritized.
    transfer_distance_bias_strength : float, optional
        Intensity of the transfer distance bias (factor a) for additive and
        replacing HGT. The default is 1.0.
    gc_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
        Specifies whether closer related gene branches have a higher
        probability to be replaced in a gene conversion event. The default
        is False, in which case the replaced gene is chosen at random
        among the paralogs in the respective species lineage. The options
        'inverse' and 'exponential' mean that a paralog is sampled weighted
        by 1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time
        between the last common ancestor of the two gene branches and the
        time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
    gc_distance_bias_strength : float, optional
        Intensity of the distance bias (factor a) for gene conversion.
        The default is 1.0.

Functions

def dated_gene_tree(S, **kwargs)

Simulate a gene tree along the specified species tree.

Parameters

dupl_rate : float, optional
Duplication rate, default is 0.0.
loss_rate : float, optional
Loss rate, default is 0.0.
hgt_rate : float, optional
Horizontal gene transfer rate, default is 0.0.
gc_rate : float, optional
Gene conversion rate, default is 0.0.
dupl_polytomy : float, optional
Allows non-binary duplication events by specifying the lambda parameter for a poisson distribution (copy number = drawn number + 2); default is 0.0.
prohibit_extinction : str or bool, optional
Avoid the extinction of all members in any species ('per_species'), of the complete gene family ('per_family'), or no constraints (False); default is 'per_species'.
replace_prob : float, optional
Enables replacing HGT events, probability by which one random homolog in the receiving branch of the receiving branch gets lost immediately after the transfer.
additive_transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
Specifies whether closer related species have a higher probability to be the recipient species in an additive HGT event. The default is False, in which case the recipient species is chosen at random among the co-existing species. The options 'inverse' and 'exponential' mean that a species branch is sampled weighted by 1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time between the last common ancestor of the two species branches and the time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
replacing_transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
Specifies whether closer related gene branches have a higher probability to be replaced in a replacing HGT event. The default is False, in which case the replaced gene is chosen at random among the co-existing gene branches. The options 'inverse' and 'exponential' mean that a gene branch is sampled weighted by 1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time between the last common ancestor of the two gene branches and the time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
Set a common bias mode for additive and replacing HGT, see description of parameters 'additive_transfer_distance_bias' and 'replacing_transfer_distance_bias'. If the latter are no set to the default (False), then these optioned are prioritized.
transfer_distance_bias_strength : float, optional
Intensity of the transfer distance bias (factor a) for additive and replacing HGT. The default is 1.0.
gc_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
Specifies whether closer related gene branches have a higher probability to be replaced in a gene conversion event. The default is False, in which case the replaced gene is chosen at random among the paralogs in the respective species lineage. The options 'inverse' and 'exponential' mean that a paralog is sampled weighted by 1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time between the last common ancestor of the two gene branches and the time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
gc_distance_bias_strength : float, optional
Intensity of the distance bias (factor a) for gene conversion. The default is 1.0.

Returns

Tree
The simulated gene tree.

        Parameters
        ----------
        dupl_rate : float, optional
            Duplication rate, default is 0.0.
        loss_rate : float, optional
            Loss rate, default is 0.0.
        hgt_rate : float, optional
            Horizontal gene transfer rate, default is 0.0.
        gc_rate : float, optional
            Gene conversion rate, default is 0.0.
        dupl_polytomy : float, optional
            Allows non-binary duplication events by specifying the lambda
            parameter for a poisson distribution (copy number =
            drawn number + 2); default is 0.0.
        prohibit_extinction : str or bool, optional 
            Avoid the extinction of all members in any species ('per_species'),
            of the complete gene family ('per_family'), or no constraints
            (False); default is 'per_species'.
        replace_prob : float, optional
            Enables replacing HGT events, probability by which one random
            homolog in the receiving branch of the receiving branch gets lost
            immediately after the transfer.
        additive_transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
            Specifies whether closer related species have a higher probability
            to be the recipient species in an additive HGT event. The default
            is False, in which case the recipient species is chosen at random
            among the co-existing species. The options 'inverse' and
            'exponential' mean that a species branch is sampled weighted by
            1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time
            between the last common ancestor of the two species branches and
            the time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
        replacing_transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
            Specifies whether closer related gene branches have a higher
            probability to be replaced in a replacing HGT event. The default
            is False, in which case the replaced gene is chosen at random
            among the co-existing gene branches. The options 'inverse' and
            'exponential' mean that a gene branch is sampled weighted by
            1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time
            between the last common ancestor of the two gene branches and the
            time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
        transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
            Set a common bias mode for additive and replacing HGT, see
            description of parameters 'additive_transfer_distance_bias' and
            'replacing_transfer_distance_bias'. If the latter are no set to
            the default (False), then these optioned are prioritized.
        transfer_distance_bias_strength : float, optional
            Intensity of the transfer distance bias (factor a) for additive and
            replacing HGT. The default is 1.0.
        gc_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
            Specifies whether closer related gene branches have a higher
            probability to be replaced in a gene conversion event. The default
            is False, in which case the replaced gene is chosen at random
            among the paralogs in the respective species lineage. The options
            'inverse' and 'exponential' mean that a paralog is sampled weighted
            by 1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time
            between the last common ancestor of the two gene branches and the
            time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
        gc_distance_bias_strength : float, optional
            Intensity of the distance bias (factor a) for gene conversion.
            The default is 1.0.

Methods

def simulate(self, dupl_rate=0.0, loss_rate=0.0, hgt_rate=0.0, gc_rate=0.0, dupl_polytomy=0.0, prohibit_extinction='per_species', replace_prob=0.0, additive_transfer_distance_bias=False, replacing_transfer_distance_bias=False, transfer_distance_bias=False, transfer_distance_bias_strength=1.0, gc_distance_bias=False, gc_distance_bias_strength=1.0, **kwargs)

Simulate a gene tree along the specified species tree.

Parameters

dupl_rate : float, optional
Duplication rate, default is 0.0.
loss_rate : float, optional
Loss rate, default is 0.0.
hgt_rate : float, optional
Horizontal gene transfer rate, default is 0.0.
gc_rate : float, optional
Gene conversion rate, default is 0.0.
dupl_polytomy : float, optional
Allows non-binary duplication events by specifying the lambda parameter for a poisson distribution (copy number = drawn number + 2); default is 0.0.
prohibit_extinction : str or bool, optional
Avoid the extinction of all members in any species ('per_species'), of the complete gene family ('per_family'), or no constraints (False); default is 'per_species'.
replace_prob : float, optional
Enables replacing HGT events, probability by which one random homolog in the receiving branch of the receiving branch gets lost immediately after the transfer.
additive_transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
Specifies whether closer related species have a higher probability to be the recipient species in an additive HGT event. The default is False, in which case the recipient species is chosen at random among the co-existing species. The options 'inverse' and 'exponential' mean that a species branch is sampled weighted by 1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time between the last common ancestor of the two species branches and the time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
replacing_transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
Specifies whether closer related gene branches have a higher probability to be replaced in a replacing HGT event. The default is False, in which case the replaced gene is chosen at random among the co-existing gene branches. The options 'inverse' and 'exponential' mean that a gene branch is sampled weighted by 1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time between the last common ancestor of the two gene branches and the time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
transfer_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
Set a common bias mode for additive and replacing HGT, see description of parameters 'additive_transfer_distance_bias' and 'replacing_transfer_distance_bias'. If the latter are no set to the default (False), then these optioned are prioritized.
transfer_distance_bias_strength : float, optional
Intensity of the transfer distance bias (factor a) for additive and replacing HGT. The default is 1.0.
gc_distance_bias : str or bool, optional
Specifies whether closer related gene branches have a higher probability to be replaced in a gene conversion event. The default is False, in which case the replaced gene is chosen at random among the paralogs in the respective species lineage. The options 'inverse' and 'exponential' mean that a paralog is sampled weighted by 1/(a * t) or e^(-(a * t)), resp., where t is the elapsed time between the last common ancestor of the two gene branches and the time of the event, see [1], and a is a user-defined factor.
gc_distance_bias_strength : float, optional
Intensity of the distance bias (factor a) for gene conversion. The default is 1.0.

Returns

Tree
The simulated gene tree.
