Summary: Illumina paired-end and mate-pair short read simulator. Used to sample reads from the simulated genome for the first Assemblathon.

"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.

Description

Samples either paired-end or mate-pair style short reads simulating what you would get from an Illumina run. Both paired-end and mate-pair methods allow you to simulate duplicate reads, while the mate-pair method also simulates chimeric reads, and paired-end contamination. The program also utilizes a position and reference base specific error model to simulate error.
