SimulateCNVs: a novel software application for simulating CNVs in WES and WGS data

Abstract

SummarySimulateCNVs is a fast and novel software application for simulating CNVs in WES and WGS data. Current NGS simulators cannot simulate rearranged genomes and their alignment files for WES data and are not easy to use. SimulateCNVs is the first software application that can simulate CNVs in both WES and WGS data, is easy to install, has many unique features, and can output rearranged genomes, short reads and bam files in a single command.\n\nAvailabilitySimulateCNVs is freely available from https://yjulyxing.github.io/\n\nContactinumia@tamu.edu, ccasola@tamu.edu
