   Description     : simulate the evolution of nucleotide or amino acid sequences
  Seq-Gen is a program that will simulate the evolution of nucleotide
  or amino acid sequences along a phylogeny, using common models of the
  substitution process. A range of models of molecular evolution are
  implemented including the general reversible model. State frequencies
  and other parameters of the model may be given and site-specific rate
  heterogeneity may also be incorporated in a number of ways. Any number
  of trees may be read in and the program will produce any number of data
  sets for each tree. Thus large sets of replicate simulations can be
  easily created. It has been designed to be a general purpose simulator
  that incorporates most of the commonly used
  (and computationally tractable) models of molecular sequence evolution.
