HgtSIM: a simulator for horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in microbial communities

The development and application of metagenomic approaches have provided an opportunity to study and define horizontal gene transfer (HGT) on the level of microbial communities. However, no current metagenomic data simulation tools offers the option to introduce defined HGT within a microbial communi...
