29 The readname produced by the "STR detection" step may contain spaces instead of underscores, which will cause downstream tools that use space as a column delimiter to fail. This tool will help convert space to underscore.
34 When you use this tool, please cite **Fungtammasan A, Ananda G, Hile SE, Su MS, Sun C, Harris R, Medvedev P, Eckert K, Makova KD. 2015. Accurate Typing of Short Tandem Repeats from Genome-wide Sequencing Data and its Applications, Genome Research**
40 If this tool is used in STR-FM for STRs profiling, it should be in the same format as output from **STR detection program**. 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**
