Table 12 Root mean squared error (RMSE) between true and estimated repeat numbers with allelotype using the original BAM file of 10 × and those realigned with STR-realigner, ReviSTER, GATK IndelRealigner, and allelotype with --realign option for commonly called STR regions. The best result is underlined
