Haar wavelet based approach for Short Tandem Repeats(STR) Detection

Short Tandem Repeats (STRs)/ Microsatellites are the key factors to find the individuality on a DNA. These are playing an essential role in forensic science. Existing tools for identifying the whole series of STRs/microsatellites necessitate a complex computational method such as fast fourier transform, pattern recognition etc. The study reflects, identifying the STR regions, involving signal processing most preferably Haar wavelet and covering the complete range of STRs in the long chain of DNA sequence. The process demands less computational complexity and time compared to the other tools.
