… STR (or microsatellite) loci consist of simple tandemly repeated sequences of 1-6 bp in …
variable number tandem repeat (VNTR or minisatellite) loci, STRs may exhibit a high degree of …

… However, it is important to keep in mind that ambiguity is introduced by the relatively high
rate of mutation with STR loci (see Table 6), which makes it challenging to separate alleles that …

… Short tandem repeats (STRs) are some of the fastest mutating loci in the genome. Tools for

… Since hypervariability at STR loci is at least partly contributed by their high mutation rate, …
Perhaps, supplementing them with a few additional repeat loci, we will be in a position to …

… Short tandem repeats (STRs) are short tandemly repeated … Because of their polymorphisms
and high mutation rates, STRs … the same mutation rate to that of autosomal loci, suggesting …

… We report a high rate of new mutation at a short tandem repeat sequence polymorphism (STR,
microsatellite) at locus DXS981 on the proximal long arm of the human X chromosome. …
