SimuG: a general-purpose genome simulator.

ABSTRACT: SUMMARY:Simulated genomes with pre-defined and random genomic variants can be very useful for benchmarking genomic and bioinformatics analyses. Here we introduce simuG, a lightweight tool for simulating the full-spectrum of genomic variants (single nucleotide polymorphisms, Insertions/Deletions, copy number variants, inversions and translocations) for any organisms (including human). The simplicity and versatility of simuG make it a unique general-purpose genome simulator for a wide-range of simulation-based applications. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION:Code in Perl along with user manual and testing data is available at https://github.com/yjx1217/simuG. This software is free for use under the MIT license. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
