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.
