  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Summary</jats:title> <jats:p>A plethora of tools exist for RNA-Seq data analysis with a focus on alternative splicing (AS). However, appropriate data for their comparative evaluation is missing. The R package ASimulatoR simulates gold standard RNA-Seq datasets with fine-grained control over the distribution of AS events, which allow for evaluating alternative splicing tools, e.g. to study the effect of sequencing depth on the performance of AS event detection.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Availability and implementation</jats:title> <jats:p>ASimulatoR is freely available at https://github.com/biomedbigdata/ASimulatoR as an R package under GPL-3 license.</jats:p> </jats:sec>
