A comparison of software for analysis of rare and common short tandem repeat (STR) variation using human genome sequences from clinical and population-based samples.

Abstract excerpt

Short tandem repeat (STR) variation is an often overlooked source of variation between genomes. STRs comprise about 3% of the human genome and are highly polymorphic. Some cause Mendelian disease, and others affect gene expression. Their contribution to common disease is not well-understood, but recent software tools designed to genotype STRs using short read sequencing data will help address this. Here, we...
