Illumina simulated reads – tools or SRA projects

Illumina simulated reads – tools or SRA projects

0

Hello, I am trying to work with metagenome Illumina simulated reads to test a pipeline.

The normal way to do that is to use simulator tools like ART.

Due to time, I am thinking of just downloading some SRA projects (sequences by Illumina), every SRA project originated from an organism, and then mixing the sequences of my SRA to produce the simulated metagenome Illumina reads.

I want to listen to your feedback, does this work as a true simulated metagenome read? The SRA files can be contaminated with other species, so I will don’t truly the composition of my simulated dataset.

Thanks in advance

Have a good day!
