Population-level genome-wide STR discovery and validation for population structure and genetic diversity assessment of Plasmodium species.

Abstract excerpt

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are highly informative genetic markers that have been used extensively in population genetics analysis. They are an important source of genetic diversity and can also have functional impact. Despite the availability of bioinformatic methods that permit large-scale genome-wide genotyping of STRs from whole genome sequencing data, they have not previously been applied to sequencing data...
