Abstract excerpt
Tandem repeats (TRs) play important roles in genomic variation and disease risk in humans. Long-read sequencing allows for the accurate characterization of TRs; however, the underlying bioinformatics perspectives remain challenging. We present otter and TREAT: otter is a fast targeted local assembler, cross-compatible across different sequencing platforms. It is integrated in TREAT, an end-to-end workflow for TR...
