About STRhub
Our Mission
The mission of STRhub is to simplify the complexity of Short Tandem Repeat analysis in forensic and population genetics through an interactive, centralized, open-access hub. The platform unifies capillary electrophoresis and next-generation sequencing compatibility alongside data exploration modules, nomenclature references, and educational resources. The primary goal is to bridge analytical innovation and daily practice, providing the global scientific community with transparent, intuitive, and rigorous tools that strengthen research and education.
