Because of the lack of gold standard real data on alternative splicing, simulated data constitute a good option for evaluating the accuracy and the efficiency of methods developed for splice-aware sequence analysis. However, existing sequence evolution simulation methods do not model alternative splicing, and so they can not be used to test spliced sequence analysis methods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We propose a new method called SimSpliceEvol for simulating the evolution of sets of alternative transcripts along the branches of an input gene tree. In addition to traditional sequence evolution events, the simulation also includes gene exon-intron structure evolution events and alternative splicing events that modify the sets of transcripts produced from genes. SimSpliceEvol was implemented in Python.
