MicroHapulator is software for empirical haplotype calling, analysis, and basic forensic interpretation of microhaplotypes from Illumina sequence data. Also included are tools for constructing mock genotypes and simulating Illumina sequencing of single- and multiple-contributor samples for testing and development purposes. MicroHapulator can be configured for use with any published or custom panel. MicroHapDB can be used to prepare marker definitions, population frequencies, and reference sequences—see the configuration documentation for more details.
Installation with the Conda package manager is recommended. Full installation instructions are available here.
conda install -c bioconda microhapulator
NOTE: MicroHapulator is only supported on Windows through the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2).
The MicroHapulator user manual is a good place to start. There is also a reference for the command line interface and the Python API. For a quick interactive demo, click the badge below.
