Simulated NGS datasets for real-time detection of novel pathogens

Datasets based on the bacterial and viral simulated NGS datasets. Fastq files correspond to tests sets of those datasets. Basecall files were generated based on the fastq files with an 8nt simulated barcode between the mates of a read pair. The "rn" datasets containg random length subreads (25-250bp) of the original validation and training reads.

The Nanopore datasets were resimulated with DeepSimulator 1.5 (Li et al., 2020) based on the original datasets (i.e. using the same species composition as the original data). The test Nanopore dataset contains full reads (target average length: 8kb) and the training and validation datasets - 250bp subreads.
