Evolvix is a model description language that is being designed to make it easy for biologists to model their study systems.

This page is about helping you to navigate Evolvix.

The current active development of Evolvix is sponsored by the National Science Foundation though an NSF CAREER Award to the Evolvix Lead Developer Laurence Loewe, who works as an Assistant Professor in the Laboratory of Genetics and WID at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Current Status of Evolvix

Different areas of Evolvix are currently in different states of progress:

• Special Evolvix Worker Ratchet: Released
• Evolvix Language Design: Foundations complete
• Evolvix Internal Representation: Is being completed
• Evolvix Parser: Infrastructure set up for rule entering to start
• Evolvix Worker SSA_SDM: Implemented except interfaces

Site Overview

If you are new, start with the Big picture page and the Design overview if you are new. If you are interested in general purpose Continuous Time Markov Chain models or Ordinary Differential Equations, check back soon. If you are interested in the population genetics of Muller's ratchet, you can download the first special purpose Evolvix Worker Ratchet.
