Generation of artificial FASTQ files to evaluate the performance of next-generation sequencing pipelines.

Pipelines for the analysis of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) data are generally composed of a set of different publicly available software, configured together in order to map short reads of a genome and call variants. The fidelity of pipelines is variable. We have developed ArtificialFastqGenerat...
