Short tandem repeats (STRs) are genomic regions consisting of repeated sequences of 1–6
bp in succession. Single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based genome-wide association …

The contribution of repetitive elements to quantitative human traits is largely unknown. Here
we report a genome-wide survey of the contribution of short tandem repeats (STRs), which …

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 …

Short tandem repeat (STR) variation has been proposed as a major explanatory factor in the
heritability of complex traits in humans and model organisms. However, we still struggle to …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) have been implicated in a variety of complex traits in humans.
However, genome-wide studies of the effects of STRs on gene expression thus far have had …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are abundant and highly mutagenic in the human genome.
Many STR loci have been associated with a range of human genetic disorders. However …

Structural variants (SVs) and short tandem repeats (STRs) comprise a broad group of
diverse DNA variants which vastly differ in their sizes and distributions across the genome …

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of hematological traits have identified
over 10 000 distinct trait-specific risk loci. However, at these loci, the underlying causal …

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 …

Annotations of gene structures and regulatory elements can inform genome-wide
association studies (GWASs). However, choosing the relevant annotations for interpreting …
