Reproducible results

[stevendavis]

Is there a way to generate identical results when running ttr with identical config files? I'm seeing different results in the seqs_sim.txt, sim.vcf, and var_site_matrix files.

It is possible to set the random seed, whish should give identical results. What random seed was chosen which should be printed out in your log file. But that isn't in the config, you would have to do it here.

TreeToReads/treetoreads.py

Line 28 in 1c98db2

self.seed = random.randint(0, sys.maxsize)

I will update the config file to make it easier to specify the seed.

I added a random seed in the config on branch dev. Will add tests and merge soon.
