nucleoSim: Generate synthetic nucleosome maps

This nucleoSim package generate synthetic nucleosome maps using parameters given by users. Three different distributions are available: Normal, Student and Uniform.

The package has been largely inspired by the Generating synthetic maps section of the Bioconductor nucleR package (Flores and Orozco, 2011).

Bioconductor Package

nucleoSim is now an official package of Bioconductor. The current release can be directly downloaded from their website: Current release
