gt-seqmutate - Mutate the sequences of the given sequence file(s).

-rate [value]
           set the mutation rate (default: 1)

       -width [value]
           set output width for FASTA sequence printing (0 disables formatting) (default: 0)

       -o [filename]
           redirect output to specified file (default: undefined)

       -gzip [yes|no]
           write gzip compressed output file (default: no)

       -bzip2 [yes|no]
           write bzip2 compressed output file (default: no)

       -force [yes|no]
           force writing to output file (default: no)

       -help
           display help and exit

       -version
           display version information and exit

       For each position in the given sequences it is randomly determined with probability (mutation rate / 100)
       if the given position is mutated. If so, in 80% of the cases a substitution is performed, in 10% an
       insertion, and in 10% a deletion, respectively. For substitution and insertion events, the nucleotide is
       generated randomly without regard to the original nucleotide. That is, resubstitutions are possible. This
       procedure equals the one described on page 1867 of the following paper:
