Sequences Length

[ChristosMatzoros]

Hello,

Is there a way to determine the length of the sequences in the generated file? For example to give a minimum or a maximum length?

Regards

Thank you for your using PBSIM.

The length of reads is determined by a gamma distribution with a given mean and SD (--length-mean and --length-sd).
The length range can be roughly limited by --length-min and --length-max.
In template sequencing mode, the length of reads is approximately the same as the length of templates.
In multi-sequencing mode, the length of reads is approximately equal to --length-mean.
PBSIM cannot generate a read with exactly the specified length. To do so, simulate reads and then cut them to the length you want.
