STR Panel Completeness
Audit STR panel completeness against a caller-supplied locus set, not an embedded legacy policy.
Description
STR panel completeness depends on the required locus set for the intended analysis.
STR panel completeness depends on the required locus set for the intended analysis. Presence of a locus differs from the quality or completeness of its allele call.
Audit STR panel completeness against a caller-supplied locus set, not an embedded legacy policy.
When to use STR Panel Completeness
Use this for the following task: Audit STR panel completeness against a caller-supplied locus set, not an embedded legacy policy.
Prepare the observed records or explicit model parameters requested below. Keep probabilities as fractions and paired records aligned.
How to use STR Panel Completeness and understand its results
- Prepare the observed records or explicit model parameters requested below. Keep probabilities as fractions and paired records aligned.
- Enter requiredLoci, observedLoci using the field table, then run the tool.
- Read missingLoci, complete, coveragePercent. Interpret flags, units, ordering and placeholder values using the rules below.
- Review any reported issue or failed check, correct the supplied values when appropriate, and verify the result in its intended context.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type and bounds | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| requiredLoci | Required loci | list of string; each entry: string | Required |
| observedLoci | Observed loci | list of string; each entry: string | Required |
Use a nonempty distinct required-locus list and supplied observed names. Compare exact IDs, preserve required order and return the missing list and complete flag.1
missing = required minus observed; coverage% = 100 matchedRequired/requiredCount This summarizes the declared operation. Units, indexing, inclusivity and exceptional cases are explained in the surrounding text.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| missingLoci | Missing loci | list of string |
| complete | Complete | boolean |
| coveragePercent | Coverage percent | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
No policy-specific panel is embedded. Duplicate observed names add no coverage and allele call quality is not checked.
The tool evaluates supplied observations or a declared model. It does not establish the biological cause of an observed pattern. Malformed requests produce input errors. A successfully evaluated request can still contain false flags, empty result lists or a result outside the supplied threshold; those outcomes have the meanings stated above.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Choose STR Microvariant Formatter for this operation: Format an STR microvariant allele from complete repeats and residual bases; decimal suffix is not a fraction. For a complementary task, use Exclusion Mismatch Tolerance for this operation: Count exact diploid STR genotype mismatches against a caller-defined tolerance; not a paternity conclusion.
The implementation reference documents the exact calculation, supported input shapes and returned fields.
