CoalescentSTR is a statistical method that estimate repeat numbers in
a microsatellite region for multiple samples from high-throughput
sequencing data. Multiple samples can be handled in one statistical
model based on coalescent theory, and accurate estimation of repeat
numbers are enabled even for microsatellite regions longer than the
length of sequence reads.
