Abstract Background Short tandem repeats (STRs) are genetic markers with a greater
mutation rate than single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and are widely used in genetic …

Most research on trinucleotide repeats (TRs) focuses on human diseases, with few on the
impact of TR expansions on plant gene expression. This work investigates TRs' effect on …

Abstract Perilla frutescens (L.) Britton, a member of the Lamiaceae family, stands out as a
versatile plant highly valued for its unique aroma and medicinal properties. Additionally, P …

The Arnaucho chili pepper (ACP) is a traditional vegetable used in Peru because of its
gastronomic properties. Due to its importance in the Peruvian diet and economy, this …

Members of eustigmatophyte algae, especially Nannochloropsis and Microchloropsis, have
been tapped for biofuel production owing to their exceptionally high lipid content. Although …

Tandemly repeated DNAs form heterochromatic regions of chromosomes, including the vital
centromeric chromatin. Despite the progress in new genomic technologies, tandem repeats …

Next-generation sequencing technologies have opened new avenues for using genomic
data to study and develop molecular markers and improve genetic resources. Simple …

We describe the rate and spectrum of spontaneous mutations for the social amoeba
Dictyostelium discoideum, a key model organism in molecular, cellular, evolutionary and …

Background: Microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSR) are related to genomic
structure, function, and certain diseases of taxonomically different organisms. Objective: To …

Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) represent an important source of genetic variation that
provides a basis for adaptation to different environments in organisms. In this study, we …
