TitleMeSS
Short DescriptionSnakemake toolkit for in silico shotgun metagenomic sample generation.
Long DescriptionMeSS automates metagenomic sample simulation by combining genome download, microbial community design, and read simulation in a command-line/Snakemake workflow; assembly_finder supports genome assembly retrieval and selection.
