IMP simulated mock community data set

This file contains the simulated mock (SM) metagenomic and metatranscriptomic dataset along with the original genomes used for simulation used within the article:

The folder contains two subfolders (MG and MT), each containing the simulated metagenomic (MG) data and simulated metatranscriptomic (MT) data respectively. The files within these folders are in FASTQ format. The methods for generating these simulated data sets are described in the article.

The genomes and the resulting simulated metatranscriptomic data was generated and analysed within the article:
