SCNVSim

SCNVSim is a Bioinformaitcs tool developed in Java programming language for the simulation of somatic copy number variations and structure variations in cancer genome studies. The tool is capable of simulating features related to tumor samples including tumor purity, aneuploidy and heterogeneity other than common types of SV and CNV. SCNVSim generates the genomes of a cancer cell population with detailed information of copy number status, loss of heterogeneity, and structure variation break points, which are essential for developing and evaluating somatic CNV and SV detection methods in cancer genomics studies.
