vamos: variable-number tandem repeats annotation using efficient motif sets

Abstract Roughly 3% of the human genome is composed of variable-number tandem repeats (VNTRs): arrays of motifs at least six bases. These loci are highly polymorphic, yet current approaches that define and merge variants based on alignment breakpoints do not capture their full diversity. Here we pre...
