Massively parallel capture of short tandem repeats (STRs, or microsatellites) provides a strategy for population genomic and demographic analyses at high resolution with or without a reference genome. However, the high Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) cycle numbers needed for target capture experiments create genotyping noise through polymerase slippage known as PCR stutter.
