RNF framework for NGS: simulation of reads, evaluation of mappers, conversion of RNF-compliant data..
Project description
Read Naming Format is a generic format for assigning read names with encoded information about original positions. RNFtools is an associated software package which can:
simulate RNF-compliant reads using a wide class of integrated read simulators (Art, DwgSim, Mason, WgSim, etc.);
evaluate mappers using RNF reads;
convert non-RNF simulated reads to RNF (e.g., from SAM format);
transform genomic coordinates of RNF reads between different coordinate systems (using chain LiftOver format).
