DESCRIPTION

Sandy is a bioinformatic tool that provides a simple engine to generate single-end/paired-end reads from a given fasta file. Many next-generation sequencing (NGS) analyses rely on hypothetical models and principles that are not precisely satisfied in practice. Simulated data, which provides positive controls would be a perfect way to overcome these difficulties. Nevertheless, most of NGS simulators are extremely complex to use, they do not cover all kinds of the desired features needed by the users, and (some) are very slow to run in a standard computer. Here, we present Sandy, a straightforward, easy to use, fast, complete set of tools to generate synthetic next-generation sequencing reads. Sandy simulates whole genome sequencing, whole exome sequencing, RNAseq reads and it presents several features to the users manipulate the data. Sandy can be used therefore for benchmarking results of a variety of pipelines in the genomics or trancriptomics.
