wave3 is a small program used in Beleza S, Santos AM, McEvoy B, Alves I, Martinho C, Cameron E, Shriver MD, Parra EJ, Rocha J (2013). The timing of pigmentation lightening in Europeans. Molecular Biology and Evolution, 30(1): 24-35.

$ wave3 <configuration_file> <results_file>

It produces a resulting text (ASCII) file with nine columns, and a line for each simulation that succeeded. The columns represent

1. s_number total number of haplotypes carrying the mutation S
2. different_s number of different mutant S haplotypes
3. original_s number of haplotypes similar to the original one (11111111S11111111)
4. heter heterozigozity
5. p p, or the frequency of original mutant haplotyypes within mutant haplotypes
6. size population size
7. sel_coef selection coeficient
8. g generation when the simulation stopped (all stop criteria reached)
9. s_freq frequency of the mutant (S) haplotype
