DeepRepeat: direct quantification of short tandem repeats on signal data from nanopore sequencing

Abstract Despite recent improvements in basecalling accuracy, nanopore sequencing still has higher error rates on short-tandem repeats (STRs). Instead of using basecalled reads, we developed DeepRepeat which converts ionic current signals into red-green-blue channels, thus transforming the repeat de...
