COULD YOU ADD ONE LITTLE OPTION? #1

PBSIM2 is absolutely fantastic! It's so fast! My group is using it to test our species/strain identification software and PBSIM2 has been central to our efforts. We can't wait to cite you when we publish!

Would it be possible to add one small feature? The ability to change the "S" in the sequence header to a specified string? Instead of @S1_1, @S1_2, @S1_3, etc., could you include an option so it becomes @UserSpecifiedSring1_1, @UserSpecifiedString1_2, @UserSpecifiedString1_3, etc? We can change the string after the fact, but it's cumbersome. It would be a great feature to have, don't you think?

Appreciate your consideration!

Thanks,

Ray

Thanks so much for using PBSIM2. We have implemented your request in PBSIM2. Please try the option --id-prefix.
