GENEPOP is a population genetics software package originally developed by Michel
Raymond (Raymond@isem.univ-montp2.fr)
and Francois Rousset (Rousset@isem.univ-montp2.fr),
at the Laboratiore de Genetique et Environment, Montpellier, France. The latest version of Genepop (4.1) is now available from http://kimura.univ-montp2.fr/~rousset/Genepop.htm. Genepop 4.1 runs under Windows, and can also be compiled to run under Unix or Linux. It will compile on Mac OSX machines if you have the developer tools installed. To compile under Unix or Linux, open a terminal window and cd to the Genepop source directory. Then issue the command:
'g++ -DNO_MODULES -o Genepop GenepopS.cpp -O3'
This latest version is easier to use and has some additional analyses (compared to v3.4) plus the ability to run in Batch mode.
The web version is still available for teaching purposes and for those who, for some reason, cannot run the latest version on their local PC or Mac. Below
is the Genepop WWW menu with links to the data input and help pages. For further information
on the Genepop program and its web implementation see the history
page. NB the web version currently implements Genepop 4.0.10, not Genepop 4.1.

The LinkDos program
(P. Garnier-Gere and C. Dillmann. J. Heredity 83:239,1992) has also been converted to a
web interface, providing a number of useful
computations including analysis of linkage disequilibrium.
