Description
This tool enables to simulate a VCF of a bi-parental population. It can be used to produce a VCF under controlled conditions with setting parameters such as average depth, marker density and expected error rate. It produces 3 VCF files:
- simulated genotypes with no noise and no sequencing error
- simulated genotypes with noise but no sequencing error
- simulated genotypes with noise and sequencing error
The Breakpoints csv file contains the positions of exact genotypes transitions based on the simulated genotype with no noise and no sequencing error.
This tool has been used to test NOISYmputer (https://gitlab.cirad.fr/noisymputer/noisymputerstandalone) to compare exact Breakpoints position to Breakpoints positions determined on imputed data.
