Hi, I would like to model a specific population to analyse IBD regions. In msprime I have looked at using mutation rate maps for specific intervals along the genome. But I have the mutation rates for specific loci, is it possible to specific the exact positions of the SNPs and the rate is rather than as an interval? Thank you! |

Short answer: yes, just use a mutation rate map with an interval of length 1bp. The default mutation model uses discrete locations, so the interval [k, k+1) will only affect the locus at position k. |
