<h4>Summary</h4>popSTR2 is an update and augmentation of our previous work 'popSTR: a population-based microsatellite genotyper'. To make genotyping sensitive to inter-sample differences, we supply a kernel to estimate sample-specific slippage rates. For clinical sequencing purposes, a panel of known pathogenic repeat expansions is provided along with a script that scans and flags for manual inspection markers indicative of a pathogenic expansion. Like its predecessor, popSTR2 allows for joint g ...[more]
