Title GemSIM
Short Description Next generation sequencing read simulator
Long Description GemSIM is a software package for generating realistic simulated next generation sequencing reads with quality score values. Both Illumina and Roche/454 reads (single or paired end) can be simulated using empirically derived error models.
