pirs - 2.0.2+dfsg-12+b2 main

The program pIRS can be used for simulating Illumina PE reads, with a
series of characters generated by Illumina sequencing platform, such as
insert size distribution, sequencing error(substitution, insertion,
deletion), quality score and GC content-coverage bias.
.
The insert size follows a normal distribution, so users should set the
mean value and standard deviation. Usually the standard deviation is set
as 1/20 of the mean value. The normal distribution by Box-Muller method
is simulated.
.
The program simulates sequencing error, quality score and GC content-
coverage bias according to the empirical distribution profile. Some
default profiles counted from lots of real sequencing data are provided.
.
To simulate reads from diploid genome, users should simulate the diploid
genome sequence firstly by setting the ratio of heterozygosis SNP,
heterozygosis InDel and structure variation.
