Foren-STR: a comprehensive tool for rapid calculation of forensic parameters from autosomal STR data.

ABSTRACT: In forensic genetics, prior to solving paternity or identification cases, it is mandatory to analyze population data of genetic markers to ensure the quality of the estimations in the required calculations. Currently, there are several tools that analyze forensic population parameters and population genetic statistics. However, the use of some of these tools can be time-consuming, as there is a learning curve to get familiarized with them, a situation that can be complicated due to the workload of forensic laboratories. Here, we propose a comprehensive tool for the quick calculation of forensic parameters and some population genetic statistics for an autosomal Short Tandem Repeats (STR) database. This tool is a web-based application ( https://enacif.shinyapps.io/Foren-STR/ ) developed in R
