lusSTR version 0.4

This release includes updates to lusSTR to accommodate the most recent changes to the STRait Razor config files updated in October 2020 (ForenSeqv1.25.config) and January 2021 (PowerSeqv2.1.config). The new config file resulted in changes to the PowerSeq coordinates for all but 2 of the STR loci (including autosomal, X- and Y-chromosome loci).

This version of lusSTR also no longer requires the inclusion of _STRaitRazor.txt in the name of individual STRait Razor output files.

lusSTR version 0.3

• Added the ability to format and annotate Y- and X-chromosome STRs (#34)
  • Annotates 24 Y-chromosome and 7 X-chromosome STRs from Verogen's ForenSeq assay
    • Accomodates output from the UAS and STRait Razor
  • Annotates 22 Y-chromosome STRs from Promega's PowerSeq assay from STRait Razor output
  • Includes flanking region annotation if using STRait Razor output
• Added the ability to input a folder of UAS Sample Details Reports for the format command (#34)

lusSTR version 0.2.1

Fixed

• A bug resulting in files not being bundled correctly (see #33)

lusSTR version 0.2

Added

• Added the ability to input full length sequences which have previously been run through STRait Razor (see #16, #17, #30)
  • Accommodates full length sequences derived from either Verogen's ForenSeq kit or Promega's PowerSeq 46GY kit
  • Added ability to combine the number of reads observed for identical UAS region sequences when inputting full length sequences (see #19)
  • Added feature which identifies potential indels or partial sequences (see #26)
  • Added new output table containing bracketed notation for sequences flanking the UAS sequence region (see #18, #30)

Fixed

• Fixed a few locus-specific annotation issues (see #27)

Changed

• Restructured code to be more organized (see #20, #21, #22, #23, #24, #25, #31)
• Changed loci names to match EuroForMix's required input (see #28)

lusSTR version 0.1.1

Fixed

• A bug resulting in files not being bundled correctly (see #13).
