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 …

Microsatellite repeat DNA is best known for its length mutability, which is implicated in
several neurological diseases and cancers, and often exploited as a genetic marker. Less …

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 …

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 …

Tandem repeat (TR) expansions have been implicated in dozens of genetic diseases,
including Huntington's Disease, Fragile X Syndrome, and hereditary ataxias. Furthermore …

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 …

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

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 …
