Software To Simulate Solid Colorspace Reads

Is anyone aware of software that will generate simulated colorspace reads?

wgsim is supposed to do it but the functionality does not seem to work - I an only get standard fastq data as output.

Thanks in advance.

Dnaa will do it. Use dnaa/dwgsim/dwgsim within the package.

It doesn't work. Whilst it has the option to output colorspace data (-c), the output is still fastq.

Shouldn't a .csfasta file contain numbers instead of letters? Nils' script only separates the sequence and quality information and converts the quality scores so far as I can see.

Do you enable the -c flag to tell the tool to generate reads in color space?
