STRs database

The STRs database houses information about known pathogenic STR loci. For each locus, it provides a concise research paper summary, coordinates for various reference genomes (hg19, hg38 and hs1), motifs, repeat ranges (normal, intermediate, pathogenic) and associated diseases, including their onset and inheritance modes. Population-wide repeat frequencies are provided for each locus.

Analysis of Tandem Repeats in Short-Read Sequencing Data: From Genotyping Known Pathogenic Repeats to Discovering Novel Expansions

Step-by-step instructions for genotyping known pathogenic repeats with STRipy or ExpansionHunter, conducting genome-wide tandem repeat analysis and discovering novel expansions.

ExpansionHunter online tools

Variant catalogue creator

Generate variant catalogues compatible with ExpansionHunter software. This tool covers all loci in the STRs database, supports the main human reference genomes and includes predefined off-target regions for genotyping long repeats.

Results analyser

Process ExpansionHunter output files to generate graphical reports. These reports make it easy to notice results that are in the intermediate or pathogenic range, as well as population outliers.
