tickTack is a package to infer kinetic parameters of an evolving population whose size is observed at discrete intervals of time. The tool is able to

  • time simple CNAs for each segment affected by them

  • time CNAs in a hierarchical fashion, grouping together segments that most likely underwent a CNA concurrently
