NAME

wgsim - Whole-genome sequencing read simulator

SYNOPSIS

wgsim [options] <in.ref.fa> <out.read1.fq> <out.read2.fq>

<in.ref.fa> must be a fasta file containing a reference genome.

<out.read1.fq> and <out.read2.fq> are the first and second read output files.

OPTIONS

base error rate [0.000]
outer distance between the two ends [500]
standard deviation [50]
number of read pairs [1000000]
-1 INT
length of the first read [70]
-2 INT
length of the second read [70]
rate of mutations [0.0010]
fraction of indels [0.15]
probability an indel is extended [0.30]
seed for random generator [-1]
discard if the fraction of ambiguous bases higher than FLOAT [0.05]
haplotype mode
