TEgenomeSimulator

Overview

• A tool to simulate transposable element (TE) mutation and insertion into a random-synthesised or user-provided genome.

• The resulting simulated genome can be used for benchmarking TE detection tools.

• Three running modes:

  • Mode 0: Random Synthesized Genome mode.

  • Mode 1: Custom Genome mode.

  • Mode 2: TE Composition Approximation mode.

• Funding: KRIP Genome Landscape Objective led by Susan Thomson
