A package for the simulation of nucleotide data. Long Description (required)
Mason is a package for the simulation of nucleotide data. Starting with a genome, you can simulate variants and optionally also methylation levels. From this, reads of different technologies can be simulated, optionally simulating bisulphite treatment. The variants can also be specified as a VCF file.
The result are FASTQ files with the reads and optionally a SAM file with the alignment to the reference sequence.
Substeps of the process are available as standalone tools, e.g. for the simulation of reads from preselected/-simulated fragments, computing of genomic sequences with variants. The time intensive part of read simulation has been parallelized. http://www.seqan.de/projects/mason/
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
Summary of Proposed Changes Step 2: Review list of proposed attribute addition(s) and subtraction(s).
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 .
