Was developed for teaching and researching population genetics. Winpop software was developed as an aid for teaching population genetics. It contains 6 different modules including: quantifying allele and genotype frequencies (two alleles in one locus), panmixia (autosomal and sex-linked), selection (general model and frequency dependent), genetic drift (with selection and/or mutation), mutation and gene flow. Each of these modules generates graphic representations of the different phenomena, while genetic drift is a real simulation.

WinPop is just a toll that makes the study of population genetics phenomena easier to understand. This help file, with few exceptions, has no theory explanations about the phenomena represented and simulated. A good population genetics book is a good companion to WinPop.

8 different modules:
1. Panmixia
2. Allele and Genotype frequencies
3. Assortative Matings
4. Linkage Disequilibrium
5. Selection
6. Genetic Drift
7. Mutation
8. Gene Flow
