reads_generator.py
is an ad-hoc NGS reads simulator (sort of like wgsim), based on Metropolis-Hastings sampling for read lengths, which generates simulated reads without any sequencing error
introduce_errors
takes a FASTA file as input, typically reads produced by reads_generator.py, and produces an output FASTA file with sequencing errors introduced randomly in the input, according to a customized error profile. Typically used to simulate PacBio reads.
metaG_mix.py
simulates metagenomics NGS reads (sort of like CAMISIM) with a lognorm abundance distribution over the genomes
