| Short Description | platform-independent data characterization and in silico read generation for NGS datasets |
| Long Description | FASTQSim is a tool that provides the dual functionality of Next-Gen Sequencing dataset characterization and metagenomic data generation. FASTQSim is sequencing platform-independent, and computes distributions of read length, quality scores, indel rates, single point mutation rates, indel size, and similar statistics for any sequencing platform. To create training or testing datasets, FASTQSim has the ability to convert target sequences into in silico reads with matching error profiles. |
