 lusSTR is a tool written in Python to convert NGS sequence data of forensic STR loci to different sequence representations (sequence bracketed form) and allele designations (CE allele, LUS/LUS+ alleles) for ease in downstream analyses. See the below section ```Converting STR sequences to other sequence representations and allele designations``` for more information. 
 
-Further, lusSTR can perform filtering and stutter identification using the CE allele or the bracketed sequence form for autosomal loci and create files for direct input into two probabilistic genotyping software packages, EuroForMix (EFM) and STRmix (both CE and NGS).

 lusSTR also processes SNP data from the Verogen ForenSeq and Kintelligence panels and create evidence and/or reference files for use in EFM. See the below section ```SNP Data Processing``` for more information.

 Finally, output files are created for direct use in EuroForMix (EFM) or STRmix. If EFM is specified, a single file is created containing all samples in the input file (however, separate output files for each sample can be created with the ```separate``` setting specified in the config file). If STRmix is specified, a directory containing files for each individual sample is created. The ```profile-type``` setting allows for the creation of either a ```reference``` or ```evidence``` profile. Both EuroForMix and STRmix require different formatting depending on the type of sample.
