The simultaneous analysis of intra- and interspecies variation is challenging mainly because our knowledge about patterns of polymorphisms where both intra- and interspecies samples coexist is limited. In this study, we present CoMuS (Coalescent of Multiple Species), a multispecies coalescent software that can simulate intra- and interspecies polymorphisms. CoMuS supports a variety of speciation models and demographic scenarios related to the history of each species. In CoMuS, speciation can be accompanied by either instant or gradual isolation between sister species. Sampling may also occur in the past, and thus, we can study simultaneously extinct and extant species. Our software supports both the infinite- and the finite-site model, with substitution rate heterogeneity among sites and a user-defined proportion of invariable sites. We demonstrate the usage of CoMuS in various applications: species delimitation, software testing, model selection and parameter inference involving present-day and ancestral samples, comparison between gradual and instantaneous isolation models, estimation of speciation time between human and chimpanzee using both intra- and interspecies variation. We expect that CoMuS will be particularly useful for studies where species have been separated recently from their common ancestor and phenomena such as incomplete lineage sorting or introgression still occur.
