Calling complex STR patterns

[bartcharbon]

Dear @readmanchiu,

Some of the STR's we are interested in have a more complex pattern instead of a simple repeating sequence. e.g. something like (TTTTA){5}TTA(TTCTA){5} (5 TTTTA's followed by a single TTA and then 5 TTCTA's)

Is this something Straglr would be able to do? And if so what would be the correct way te specify a unit like this in the loci bed file?

And a related question: is there documentation on how to specify the repeat pattern? I've been playing around with "*" and "+" signs, also in combination with brackets and curly brackets. Are constructions with these tokens supported?
