Short tandem repeats (STRs) are hyper-mutable sequences in the human genome. They are
often used in forensics and population genetics and are also the underlying cause of many …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are highly polymorphic sequences throughout the human
genome that are composed of repeated copies of a 1–6-bp motif. Over 1 million variable …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are implicated in dozens of human genetic diseases and
contribute significantly to genome variation and instability. Yet profiling STRs from short-read …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are consecutive repetitions of one to six nucleotide motifs.
They are hypervariable due to the high prevalence of repeat unit insertions or deletions …

Short tandem repeats are among the most polymorphic loci in the human genome. These
loci play a role in the etiology of a range of genetic diseases and have been frequently …

Expansions of short tandem repeats (STRs) have been implicated as the causal variant in
over 50 diseases known to date. There are several tools which can genotype STRs from …

Repeat expansions cause more than 30 inherited disorders, predominantly neurogenetic.
These can present with overlapping clinical phenotypes, making molecular diagnosis …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) have a wide range of applications, including medical genetics,
forensics, and genetic genealogy. High-throughput sequencing (HTS) has the potential to …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are mutation-prone loci that span nearly 1% of the human
genome. Previous studies have estimated the mutation rates of highly polymorphic STRs by …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are some of the fastest mutating loci in the genome. Tools for
accurately profiling STRs from high-throughput sequencing data have enabled genome …
