a small tool for simulating sequence reads from a reference genome. Long Description (required)
Wgsim is a small tool for simulating sequence reads from a reference genome.
It is able to simulate diploid genomes with SNPs and insertion/deletion (INDEL)
polymorphisms, and simulate reads with uniform substitution sequencing errors.
It does not generate INDEL sequencing errors, but this can be partly
compensated by simulating INDEL polymorphisms.
Wgsim outputs the simulated polymorphisms, and writes the true read coordinates
as well as the number of polymorphisms and sequencing errors in read names.
One can evaluate the accuracy of a mapper or a SNP caller with wgsim_eval.pl
that comes with the package. https://github.com/lh3/wgsim
Step 1: Use the attribute tree to add new attributes or remove pre-selected attributes to describe the simulator.
Every sub-attribute is selected Not all sub-attributes are selectedFill Clear Expand Collapse Reset

Can't Find the Attribute You Are Looking For? If you would like to propose an attribute that you cannot find in the tree above, or if you would like to add a clarification to one or more attributes for this simulator (e.g. a specific file format for attribute /Output/File Format/Other), please list them in the Additional Comment box of the Submit tab .
