The benchmarking of computational methods and tools that are in continuous development is fundamental for the correct interpretation of somatic genomic profiling results. To this aim we developed synggen, a tool for the fast generation of large-scale realistic and heterogeneous cancer whole-exome and targeted sequencing synthetic datasets, which enables the incorporation of phased germline single nucleotide polymorphisms and complex allele-specific somatic genomic events. Synggen performances and effectiveness in generating synthetic cancer data are shown across different scenarios and considering different platforms with distinct characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>synggen is freely available at https:\/\/bitbucket.org\/CibioBCG\/synggen\/.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Supplementary information<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btac792","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,9]],"date-time":"2022-12-09T14:32:41Z","timestamp":1670596361000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Synggen: fast and data-driven generation of synthetic heterogeneous NGS cancer data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"39","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1640-5307","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Riccardo","family":"Scandino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento , Trento 38123, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federico","family":"Calabrese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento , Trento 38123, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4855-8620","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessandro","family":"Romanel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cellular, Computational and Integrative Biology (CIBIO), University of Trento , Trento 38123, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023010805413396600_btac792-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2665","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btaa016","article-title":"ABEMUS: platform-specific and data-informed detection of somatic SNVs in cfDNA","volume":"36","author":"Casiraghi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023010805413396600_btac792-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0162809","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0162809","article-title":"Targeted next-generation sequencing of plasma DNA from cancer patients: factors influencing consistency with tumour DNA and prospective investigation of its utility for diagnosis","volume":"11","author":"Kaisaki","year":"2016","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"2023010805413396600_btac792-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"709","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/bty666","article-title":"Genetic simulation resources and the GSR certification program","volume":"35","author":"Peng","year":"2019","journal-title":"Bioinformatics"},{"key":"2023010805413396600_btac792-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.1186\/s10020-021-00331-1","article-title":"Liquid biopsy as an option for predictive testing and prognosis in patients with lung cancer","volume":"27","author":"Qvick","year":"2021","journal-title":"Mol.
