Description

This dataset comprises artificial genome sequences and derived simulated Illumina 150bp paired-end reads with varying percentages of homogeneous nucleotide divergence from the SARS-CoV-2 reference genome (MN908947.3), ranging from 0.01% to 80%. A total of 1990 Illumina 150bp paired-end reads were artificially generated per sample, targeting a 10-fold depth of coverage.

Reads were simulated using ART (https://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btr708).

The code and instructions to reproduce the artificial sequences and reads are also available in this repository.
