**Read Naming Format** is a generic format for assigning
read names with encoded information about original positions.
**RNFtools** is an associated
software package which can:

* simulate RNF-compliant reads using a wide class of integrated read simulators (Art, DwgSim, Mason, WgSim, etc.), either from a single genome (i.e., a whole genome sequencing) or multiple genomes (i.e., a metagenomic simulation);
* evaluate mappers using RNF reads;
* convert non-RNF simulated reads to RNF (e.g., from SAM format);
* transform genomic coordinates of RNF reads between different coordinate systems (using chain LiftOver format).
