Columns: TranscriptID and TPM .TP \fB\-\-readLen\fR The length of the output reads. 100 by default. .TP \fB\-\-totalReads\fR Total read/pairs in the output. .TP \fB\-\-randSeed\fR Seed to generate random numbers. UNIXTIME is used as the random seed by default. .TP \fB\-\-qualityRefFile\fR A textual file containing Phred+33 quanlity strings for simulating sequencing errors. The quality strings have to have the same length as the output reads. No sequencing errors are simulated when this option is omitted. .TP \fB\-\-floorStrategy\fR How to deal with round\-up errors. 'FLOOR': generate less than wanted reads; 'RANDOM': randomly assign margin reads to transcripts; 'ITERATIVE': find the best M value to have ~N reads. .TP \fB\-\-pairedEnd\fR Generate paired\-end reads. .HP \fB\-\-insertionLenMean\fR ,\-\-insertionLenSigma ,\-\-insertionLenMin , .TP \fB\-\-insertionLenMax\fR Parameters of a truncated normal distribution for deciding insertion lengths of paired\-end reads. Default values: mean=160, sigma=30, min=110, max=400 .TP \fB\-\-simpleTranscriptId\fR Truncate transcript names to the first '|' or space. .TP \fB\-\-truthInReadNames\fR Encode the true locations of reads in read names. .TP \fB\-\-noActualReads\fR Do not actually generate reads in fastq.gz files.
