TY - JOUR AU - Zhang, Wenmin AU - Jia, Ben AU - Wei, Chaochun PY - 2019 DA - 2019/06/21 TI - PaSS: a sequencing simulator for PacBio sequencing JO - BMC Bioinformatics SP - 352 VL - 20 IS - 1 AB - Third-generation sequencing platforms, such as PacBio sequencing, have been developed rapidly in recent years. PacBio sequencing generates much longer reads than the second-generation sequencing (or the next generation sequencing, NGS) technologies and it has unique sequencing error patterns. An effective read simulator is essential to evaluate and promote the development of new bioinformatics tools for PacBio sequencing data analysis.
