Using GangSTR on HiFi PacBio reads #88

Closed olekto closed 4 years ago

olekto commented 4 years ago

Hi, would GangSTR work with the PacBio HiFi reads instead of Illumina reads? We are planning to sequence some individuals and are considering getting HiFi reads for looking at structural variations and such. Could we use the same reads to look at STRs also?

Thank you.

Hi Ole, GangSTR uses information extracted from paired-end short reads. Because of that, GangSTR won't be able to use PB HiFi to genotype TRs. Best, Nima
