NanoSim v3.0.0 pre-release
Pre-releaseHere we are announcing NanoSim v3.0.0 pre-release, and we will make it an official one once the manuscript is published. Please note that the tar ball attached doesn't contain any pre-trained models, so the downloading will be much faster.
In this release, NanoSim is able to simulate metagenomes with variable abundance profiles.
Key features include:
-
Quantify species abundance level, which is not readily available in existing abundance quantification tools
-
Simulate multiple samples in one batch
-
Simulate chimeric reads in
metagenome
mode andgenome
mode -
Simulate abundance variance deviated from expected value
Bug fixes and small improvements:
-
Fixed the bug in fastq simulation which leads to discrepancy between quality score length and sequence length
-
Changed the way of importing model files, allowing better compatibility
-
Re-trained all the models to be compatible with the model importing
-
Added 2 more pre-trained models for metagenome datasets
