Mimick

Linked-read sequence simulator

Originally known as XENIA from the VISOR project, Mimick is a simulator for linked-read FASTQ data. Mimick allows you to simulate an arbitrary number of haplotypes, set overall coverage, molecule coverage, and mix-match barcodes with linked-read chemistries.

Supported Linked-Read Types:

• 10X
• Haplotagging
• stLFR
• TELLseq

Note

Why name it "mimick"? Well, this software mimics linked-read data, I have an affinity for naming software after fictional monsters and "mimick" (with a "k") is the old-English spelling of the word, leaving mimic available for some other bioinformatician to use for a less farcical reason. Despite the lore of mimics being deadly traps, this software is anything but, I promise.
