Ultrafast, alignment-free detection of repeat expansions in next-generation DNA and RNA sequencing data
2021-04-06
Abstract excerpt
Short tandem repeat expansions are an established cause of diseases such as Huntington’s disease. Bioinformatic methods for detecting repeat expansions in short-read sequencing have revealed new repeat expansions in humans. Current bioinformatic methods to detect repeat expansions require alignment information to identify repetitive motif enrichment at genomic locations. We present superSTR, an ultrafast method th...
