NanoSim

Nanopore sequence read simulator based on statistical characterization

Project Description

NanoSim is a fast and scalable read simulator that captures the technology-specific features of ONT data, and allows for adjustments upon improvement of nanopore sequencing technology.

To download the latest version and view the manual, please go to https://github.com/bcgsc/NanoSim.

Some ONT read profiles are ready to use for users. With the profiles, users can run simulation tool directly. Please go to ftp://ftp.bcgsc.ca/supplementary/NanoSim/ to download E. coli or S. cerevisiae datasets and profiles.
