Here we describe the main program MSMC and its successor MSMC2. We go through all the necessary steps of processing genomic data from BAM files all the way to generating plots of inferred population size and separation histories. Some background on the methodology itself is provided, as well as bash scripts and python source code to run the necessary programs. The reader is also referred to community resources such as a mailing list and github repositories for further advice.}}, booktitle = {{Statistical population genomics}}, editor = {Dutheil, Julien Y.}, pages = {147--165}, eid = {II.7}, series = {{Methods in Molecular Biology}}, volume = {2090}, }
