Simulating Illumina metagenomic data with InSilicoSeq
2018
Bioinformatics
InSilicoSeq is the only simulator that manages to simulate low-quality sequences. ...
InSilicoSeq and ART are the most faithful to real data, while grinder only generates qualities of either "low" or "high" (Q10 and Q30 in our benchmarks). pIRS only reports Q40. ...

M&Ms: A software for building realistic Microbial Mock communities
[article]
2021
bioRxiv
pre-print
Although there is a large amount of software dedicated to produce reads from 'in silico' microbial communities, often the simulated data diverge widely from real situations.ResultsHere, we introduce M& ...
As these tools need to be tested, it is important to simulate datasets that resemble realistic conditions. ...
Finally, M&Ms runs InSilicoSeqs (Gourlé et al., 2019) to simulate metagenomic Illumina sequencing samples with the designed abundance profiles. ...

Metagenomics: A viable tool for reconstructing herbivore diet
2021

We applied these parameters to characterise the diet of western capercaillies (Tetrao urogallus) located in Norway, and compared the results with metabarcoding trnL P6 loop data generated from the same ...
For each simulated data set, insilicoseq (using a precomputed error model based on a HiSeq instrument) generated around 1 million fragmented Illumina PE reads (125 bp). ...

Identification of discriminatory antibiotic resistance genes among environmental resistomes using extremely randomized tree algorithm
2019
Microbiome
The potential of ERT for identifying discriminatory ARGs was first evaluated using in silico metagenomic datasets (simulated metagenomic Illumina sequencing data) with known variability. ...
The application of ERT was then demonstrated through analyses using publicly available and in-house metagenomic datasets associated with (1) different aquatic habitats (e.g., river, wastewater influent ...
