Hi, I am Arnaud, software engineer in genetics, always eager to learn more about C++! Happy to be on this mailing list :) Is there any interest in a library that solves genetic simulations? A proof of concept library that focuses on a particular simulation framework (spatial coalescence) can be found here: https://github.com/Quetzal-framework/quetzal-CoaTL It lacks many basics including genetic code, mutations, sequences, recombination etc. Such algorithms and data structures are constantly re-implemented in the scientific community, and providing a generic implementation could help significantly. Best, Arnaud Becheler
