Thank you for your using PBSIM2. PBSIM2 does not have an option to select the number of create reads as a whole. You cannot specify the number of reads, but you can use the --depth option to specify the total amount of reads. Simulated reads are randomly sampled from a reference sequence. If the reference is multi-fasta file, the number of reads generated from each reference sequence is roughly proportional to its sequence size.
Thank you
Hello,
Is there any option to select the number of created reads as a whole? I use a multi-fasta file as a reference and it seems that pbsim creates an arbitrary number of reads for each FASTA.
Thanks, Chris
