Nemo v2.4.0 beta release

[Frederic Guillaume]

Happy to announce that a new release of Nemo is out now as a beta of v2.4.0.

We have made major changes in the quantitative trait to allow for more flexibility in the genetic architecture of polygenic traits with variable pleiotropy, dominance and epistasis.

It is now also possible to model plastic traits with a linear reaction norm. The reaction norm, and thus plasticity can evolve in the model.

Nemo should become the tool of choice to model complex genotype-phenotype maps and the evolution of quantitative traits in variable environments.

Large parts of the code have also been revised and improved. There is now better support for Wright-Fisher simulations and improved performances with recombination on large genetic maps.

Best,
