 ## 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 2 VCF files with the simulated genotypes, one with simulated data, and one with the same simulated data but with simulated genotyping errors. 
+The Breakpoints csv file contains the positions of exact genotypes transitions based on the simulated data. 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.
