Describe CapSim
CapSim is a software package for simulation of targeted capture sequencing. Given a genome sequence and a set of probes, CapSim simulates the fragmentation, the dynamics of probe hybridization and the sequencing of the captured fragments on Illumina and PacBio sequencing platforms. The simulated data can be used for evaluating the performance of the analysis pipeline, as well as the efficiency of the probe design. Parameters of the various stages in the sequencing process can also be evaluated in order to optimize the experiments.Availability and implementation: CapSim is publicly available under BSD license at https://github.com/Devika1/capsim.
