The workflow of USAT software. Three major modules of the USAT workflow are input, allele analysis, and output. The input module takes a DNA haplotype sequence file in tabular plain text format and a BED file describing the details of the tandem repeat (TR) loci. The haplotype is used to count the length in base pairs and the number of repeats (allele size) based on locus position information in the BED file. All haplotypes and calculated data are then used in displaying in an interactive table and plotting a graphic distribution requested by the user. Haplotypes of interest are aligned to identify the detailed difference between/among the haplotypes
