Abstract
Simulated sequence alignments are frequently used to test bioinformatics tools, but current sequence simulators are limited to defined state spaces. Here, we present the COMPletely Arbitrary Sequence Simulator (COMPASS), which is able to simulate the evolution of absolutely any discrete state space along a tree, for any form of time-reversible model. COMPASS is implemented in Python 2.7, and is freely available for all platforms with the Supplementary Information, as well as at http://labs.carleton.ca/eme/software-and-data. alex_wong@carleton.ca. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
