Forensic STR allele extraction using a machine learning paradigm.

Abstract excerpt

We present a machine learning approach to short tandem repeat (STR) sequence detection and extraction from massively parallel sequencing data called Fragsifier. Using this approach, STRs are detected on each read by first locating the longest repeat stretches followed by locus prediction using k-mers in a machine learning sequence model. This is followed by reference flanking sequence alignment to determine...
