The following parameters are available:
Length - length of the resulted sequence(s) (using '1000' bp by default).
Window size - the size of a window where set content (using '1000' by default).
Number of sequences - the number of sequences to generate (using '1' by default).
Initialize random generator manually - value to initialize the random generator.
Reference - path to the reference file (could be a sequence or an alignment).
Base content - set the base content percents manually.
GC Skew - set the GC skew of the resulted sequence.
Output file - output file.
Format - output file format (using 'fasta' by default).
Add to project - adds the generated sequence(s) to project.
Once the Search button the Generate button has been pressed, the sequence(s) are created.
