# SigProfilerSimulator # ---------- SigProfilerSimulator simulates mutational signatures in cancer. It allows for realistic simulations of single point mutations, double point mutations, and insertions/deletions with the goal of providing a background model for statistical analysis. The simulations are performed in an unbiased fashion, relying on random chance as the main distribution and can be performed across the entire genome or limited to user-provided ranges. The SigProfilerSimulator library can be found on GitHub at [here][1]. The [README.md][2] file provides a great overview if your environment is already set up. ## Citation ## Erik N.
