Red Lynx is a population genetics simulator that allows students to explore the effects and interations of several evolutionary forces.
It is written completely in client-side javascript using jQuery, jQuery UI, and jQuery SVG plugin.
Internet Explorer does not have native support for SVG graphics. You can install Adobe SVG viewer or the Renesis Player to use the simulator.
Acknowledgements: This simulation is inspired by a few Java applets written by Kent Holsinger at the University of Connecticut. Dan Earle ported the binomial sampler from GSL to JavaScript so it could be used in this project.
