32 This tool will fetch flanking regions around STRs from the reads output by "STR detection" step, screen for quality score at STRs and adjacent flanking regions, and output two fastq files containing flanking regions in forward-forward direction.

42 The input file needs to be in the same format as output from **STR detection** step. This format contains **length of repeat**, **length of left flanking region**, **length of right flanking region**, **repeat motif**, **hamming (editing) distance**, **read name**, **read sequence**, **read quality score**
55 - If we want to get fastq files of flanking regions around the detected STRs with quality score of at least 20, the program will report these two fastq files ::
