SIBsim4 for Debian
==================

The SIBsim4 project is based on sim4[1], which is a program designed to
align an expressed DNA sequence with a genomic sequence, allowing for
introns. Sim4 was written by Liliana Florea while working in Webb
Miller's lab at the Pennsylvania State University. Here is the paper[2]
describing sim4 (source code is also available).

The name was chosen to denote the fact the SIBsim4 is a derivative work
from sim4. SIB[3] stands for the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics. Some
code modifications were written by Claudio Lottaz, while working at SIB.
SIBsim4 is currently developed and maintained by Christian Iseli, from
the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research LICR[4], Information Technology
Office in Lausanne. LICR is a SIB partner.
