Accumulating evidence suggests that many classes of DNA repeats exhibit attributes that
distinguish them from other genetic variants, including the fact that they are more liable to …

We report the sequences of 1,244 human Y chromosomes randomly ascertained from 26
worldwide populations by the 1000 Genomes Project. We discovered more than 65,000 …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is an early-onset developmental disorder characterized by
deficits in communication and social interaction and restrictive or repetitive behaviours …

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 highly variable elements that play a pivotal role in multiple
genetic diseases, population genetics applications, and forensic casework. However, it has …

The properties of the human Y chromosome–namely, male specificity, haploidy and escape
from crossing over—make it an unusual component of the genome, and have led to its …

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 units of 1–6 bp that repeat in a tandem fashion in DNA.
Along with single nucleotide polymorphisms and large structural variations, they are among …

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 …

Over a third of the human genome is comprised of repetitive sequences, including more than
a million short tandem repeats (STRs). While studies of the pathologic consequences of …
