Hi everyone! i want to run joint snvmix or var scan software for detection of somatic mutation in normal\tumor paired data,but i dont have any data to run it, if there is no data, can i simulate data ?

Assuming you are in an academic institution you should be able to get TCGA data, although the access request will need to come from your PI.

Alternatively you could download synthetic data that has been made available for the recent DREAM challenge:
Other possible sources which have other kinds of datasets

More information on what you're trying to accomplish would be helpful. TCGA is a great place to grab data, as mentioned below. Simulated data may or may not be a good soulution, depending on how well it represents real data. (Does it include normal admixture? altered ploidy and CN events? a specific mutation spectrum due to carcinogens, etc?)
