The identification of genomic variants has become a routine task in the age of genome sequencing. In particular, small genomic variants of a single or few nucleotides are routinely investigated for their impact on an organism’s phenotype. Hence, the precise and robust detection of the variants’ exact genomic locations and changes in nucleotide composition is vital in many biological applications. Although a plethora of methods exist for the many key steps of variant detection, thoroughly testing the detection process and evaluating its results is still a cumbersome procedure. In this work, we present a collection of easy-to-apply and highly modifiable workflows to facilitate the generation of synthetic test data, as well as to evaluate the accordance of a user-provided set of variants with the test data. The workflows are implemented in Nextflow and are open-source and freely available on Github under the GPL-3.0 license.
