Description: A stand-alone executable software with user-friendly graphical interface implemented in Python/C++ for rare variant association studies. It is designed as a unified simulation framework to provide an unbiased and easy manner to evaluate association methods, including novel methods, under a broad range of choice of biological contexts. It consists of three modules, variant data simulator, genotype/phenotype generator and association method evaluator. SimRare generates variant data for gene regions using forward-time simulation which incorporates realistic population demographic and evolutionary scenarios. For phenotype data it is capable of generating both case-control and quantitative traits. The phenotypic effects of variants can be detrimental, protective or non-causal. SimRare has a graphical user interface which allows for easy entry of genetic and phenotypic parameters. Simulated data can be written into external files in a standard format. For novel association method implemented in R it can be imported into SimRare, which has been equipped built in functions to evaluate performance of new method and visually compare it with currently available ones in an unbiased manner.
