Looking for tools to simulate expression data (RNAseq, proteomic, arrays)

Question

[Israel Barrantes]

I'm looking for tools to simulate expression data (RNAseq, proteomic, arrays), especially generating tissue-, organ- and/or species- specific datasets. Better if the data is already quantified (e.g. mapped read count tables instead of simulation of FASTQ Illumina data). Comments/experiences appreciated.

It is possible that you may be able to find real data that satisfies those criteria.

This is a slightly dated post about NGS data simulators (NGS reads simulation ). Should still be useful. It probably does not include randomreads.sh from BBMap suite so add that to the list.

Thank you for your input.

Yes, in many cases you can obtain such datasets from public sources (GEO, ArrayExpress, ENCODE and so on), but not in every case. Therefore the question.
