popSTR
Here we present a microsatellite genotyper, optimized for Illumina WGS data, which is both faster and more accurate than other methods previously presented. 
Illumina WGS data
By comparing our genotyping results to genotypes generated by capillary electrophoresis we show that our error rates are 50% lower than those of lobSTR, another program specifically developed to determine microsatellite genotypes.
