simuPOP (Peng and Amos, 2008)

This package relies on the adegenet package.
It is built around the '>genind and
'>genlight object. Genind objects store genetic
information in a table of allele frequencies while genlight objects store
SNP data efficiently by packing binary allele calls into single bits.
Poppr has extended these object into new objects called
'>genclone and '>snpclone,
respectively. These objects are designed for analysis of clonal organisms
as they add the @mlg slot for keeping track of multilocus
genotypes and multilocus lineages.
