Long-read sequencing technologies have now reached a level of accuracy and yield that
allows their application to variant detection at a scale of tens to thousands of samples …

Tandem repeats represent one of the most abundant class of variations in human genomes,
which are polymorphic by nature and become highly unstable in a length-dependent …

Adult-onset cerebellar ataxias are a group of neurodegenerative conditions that challenge
both genetic discovery and molecular diagnosis. In this study, we identified an intronic (GAA) …

Tandem repeat (TR) variation is associated with gene expression changes and numerous
rare monogenic diseases. Although long-read sequencing provides accurate full-length …

Identifying structural variation (SV) is essential for genome interpretation but has been
historically difficult due to limitations inherent to available genome technologies. Detection …

As long-read sequencing technologies are becoming increasingly popular, a number of
methods have been developed for the discovery and analysis of structural variants (SVs) …

Noncoding repeat expansions cause various neuromuscular diseases, including myotonic
dystrophies, fragile X tremor/ataxia syndrome, some spinocerebellar ataxias, amyotrophic …

Neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease
that is characterized by eosinophilic hyaline intranuclear inclusions in neuronal and somatic …

Background Short tandem repeat (STR) expansion disorders are an important cause of
human neurological disease. They have an established role in more than 40 different …

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 …
