Thanks, that is a good way to approach the task!
Great Python tool(s) for simulating fake/dummy VCF files?
Hi all,
I need to generate a large number of simulated VCF files to test (and stress test) a system. For legal reasons, the files need to be fake.
Can any of you recommend a great Python tool for generating dummy VCF files?
Thanks!

Maybe it is better to simulate fastq files, and create VCF files yourself. This may give a bit more control.

Actually another tool from BBMap suite called mutate.sh will introduce mutations in a reference you provide. You get control over mutation creation. The tool will also create a corresponding VCF file for the mutations it creates. See the inline help for more information.
