Welcome
This is the homepage of GenRGenS, a software dedicated
to random generation of genomics sequences that supports several classes
of models, including Markov chains, HMM, context-free grammars, PROSITE
patterns and more.
GenRGenS is being developped as a collaboration between Bioinformatics
group of LRI Orsay and group BIG
(Bioinformatique des Génomes) of IGM
Orsay by Alain Denise, Yann Ponty and Michel Termier.
Academic users are invited (pretty please?;)) to cite the following paper:

2012-11-04 Release of GenRGenS 2.1
 GenRGens now ships in its 2.1 version. This new minor version mainly contains bug fixes, including an overzealous grammar clean-up (kudos to Alois Dreyfus for reporting the bug and contributing a patch). The BuildMarkov tool has also been extended to allow for pseudocounts (a la Laplace's rule of succession). 2010-09-06 GenRGenS companion paper published in TCS
 The article describes the theoretical foundations and properties of weighted context-free grammars, and appeared in the September 2010 edition of the journal of Theoretical Computer Science. 2006-07-06 GenRGenS at Jobim'06
 A short talk about GenRGenS features is given at the major french Bioinformatics conference [ppt slides]. 2006-06-15 Bioinformatics article released
 GenRGenS v2.0 official release announcement can now be found here. 2006-04-01 GenRGenS v2.0 manual published as a research report !
 The manual can now be referred to as the research report no 1447 of the LRI (Orsay, France).
