Abstract excerpt
Variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) remain among the most challenging regions of the human genome to characterize, due to their repetitive structure and high sequence variability. Short-read sequencing lacks the resolution to span these regions, and even long-read variant callers often fail to resolve true allelic variation due to alignment ambiguity and motif heterogeneity. We present a novel bioinformatics...
