Description of the issue

A stretch of roughly 350 bases of CT-microsatellite is being read inconsistently by different long-read platforms. In addition, large numbers of reads having CT-microsatellites are possibly being misaligned to the region (note the very high coverage which is caused by clipped reads supporting only the CT region, but not the flanks.
