Tool Description Homepage
art ART is a set of simulation tools to generate synthetic next-generation sequencing reads. ART simulates sequencing reads by mimicking real sequencing process with empirical error models or quality profiles summarized from large recalibrated sequencing data. ART can also simulate reads using user own read error model or quality profiles. https://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/software/biostatistics/art/index.cfm
