Background In recent years it has been demonstrated that structural variations, such as
indels (insertions and deletions), are common throughout the genome, but the implications …

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 …

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 …

Simple sequence repeats are predominantly found in most organisms. They play a major
role in studies of genetic diversity, and are useful as diagnostic markers for many diseases …

Abstract Background Short tandem repeats (STRs) are abundant in human genomes.
Numerous STRs have been shown to be associated with genetic diseases and gene …

Short tandem repeats (STRs), also known as microsatellites, are commonly defined as
consisting of tandemly repeated nucleotide motifs of 2–6 base pairs in length. STRs appear …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are commonly defined as short runs of repetitive nucleotides,
consisting of tandemly repeating 2–6-bp motif units, which are ubiquitously distributed …

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 …

Over 30 hereditary diseases are caused by the expansion of microsatellite repeats. The
length of the expandable repeat is the main hereditary determinant of these disorders. They …

Background Short tandem repeat (STR), or “microsatellite”, is a tract of DNA in which a
specific motif (typically< 10 base pairs) is repeated multiple times. STRs are abundant …
