  • Best way to generate reads for testing of aligners/snp callers

    Hi all,

    I know of numerous programs for generating artificial reads e.g. wgsim, bgeneratereads, simNGS...

    BUT

    I am trying to find one which will annotate the output sequences with a description of various characteristics that will make downstream testing of aligners/snp callers easier.

    For example, the read name would contain info on chromosome and position of origin and the coordinates of any errors/snps/indels etc that have been introduced to the sequence.

    Does anything like this exist or would it be necessary to write a program/hack an existing one?

    Thanks in advance.

        They are there, but not documented on the wiki. Maybe you could try it out and help add some documentation? Open source FTW?

            I know this thread is old, but I thought I might add that you can check out DNemulator at

            It allows you to generate simulated reads from a reference, using the fastq scores of a run from your favourite platform to set the scores on your simulated data. It also saves the "mapping" of where your reads come from, so you can figure out whether your mapper is doing a good job or not...

            Cheers,

            Elizabeth

              Quality Control Essentials for Next-Generation Sequencing Workflows
              by seqadmin




              Like all molecular biology applications, next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflows require diligent quality control (QC) measures to ensure accurate and reproducible results. Proper QC begins at nucleic acid extraction and continues all the way through to data analysis. This article outlines the key QC steps in an NGS workflow, along with the commonly used tools and techniques.
