How To Install insilicoseq on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install insilicoseq on Kali Linux. insilicoseq is sequencing simulator producing realistic Illumina reads

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install insilicoseq on Kali Linux.

What is insilicoseq

insilicoseq is:

Primarily intended for simulating metagenomic samples, it can also be used to produce sequencing data from a single genome.

InSilicoSeq is written in Python, and use kernel density estimators to model the read quality of real sequencing data.

InSilicoSeq support substitution, insertion and deletion errors. If you don’t have the use for insertion and deletion error a basic error model is provided.

There are three methods to install insilicoseq on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.
