Benchmark data for variant calling assessment

Question

[ashenflower]

Hello,

I would like to assess a new method that I am trying to implement for performing variant calling, in particular for large structural variants (so, not only SNPs), but I would need some kind of "ground trurth". It would be incredibly useful if any of you could point me to a reference genome for which there is another one with annotated variants SVs, or to a good variants simulator. Even if you could just tell me how to look for such data would be great.

Thank you in advance! :)

Is this enough? https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/genome-bottle
