search_executable

This function tries to find a binary of a given name by looking
in the current working directory and the directories listed in
the $PATH environment variable. If an environment variable with
name equal to to binaries name in upper case is given, it also
tries to use this as path of the binary.

Coalescent simulators can rapidly simulate biological sequences
evolving according to a given model of evolution.
You can use this package to specify such models, to conduct the simulations
and to calculate additional statistics from the results (Staab, Metzler,
2016 <doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btw098>).
It relies on existing simulators for doing the simulation, and currently
supports the programs 'ms', 'msms' and 'scrm'. It also supports finite-sites
mutation models by combining the simulators with the program 'seq-gen'.
Coala provides functions for calculating certain summary statistics, which
can also be applied to actual biological data.
One possibility to import data is through the 'PopGenome' package
(<https://github.com/pievos101/PopGenome>).
