Figure 4. Distribution of observed STR allele sizes using 100 base HiSeq and 150 base MiSeq reads.

Figure 4

Using 100 base Illumina HiSeq reads, the longest alleles we were able to successfully genotype were 94bp, representing reads that span the entire STR locus with only an additional 3bp of anchoring sequence at each flank. Similarly using longer 150 base MiSeq reads, the longest STR allele we detected was 142bp in length.
