Adaptive sampling leverages this real-time capability in extremis, rejecting or accepting reads for sequencing based on assessment of the sequence from the start of each read. This functionality is provided by ONT\u2019s software, MinKNOW (Oxford Nanopore Technologies). Designing and developing software to take advantage of adaptive sampling can be costly in terms of sequencing consumables, using precious samples and preparing sequencing libraries. MinKNOW addresses this in part by allowing the replay of previously sequenced runs for testing. However, as we show, the sequencing output only partially changes in response to adaptive sampling instructions. Here we present Icarust, a tool enabling more accurate approximations of sequencing runs. Icarust recreates all the required endpoints of MinKNOW to perform adaptive sampling and writes output compatible with current base-callers and analysis pipelines. Icarust serves nanopore signal simulating a MinION or PromethION flow cell experiment from any reference genome using either R9 or R10 pore models. We show that simulating sequencing runs with Icarust provides a realistic testing and development environment for software exploiting the real-time nature of Nanopore sequencing.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Availability and implementation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All code is open source and freely available here\u2014https:\/\/github.com\/LooseLab\/Icarust.
