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 consecutive repetitions of one to six nucleotide motifs.
They are hypervariable due to the high prevalence of repeat unit insertions or deletions …

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 …

Abstract Background Tandem repeats (TRs) are unstable regions commonly found within
genomes that have consequences for evolution and disease. In humans, polymorphic TRs …

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 …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are mutation-prone loci that span nearly 1% of the human
genome. Previous studies have estimated the mutation rates of highly polymorphic STRs by …

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are implicated in dozens of human genetic diseases and
contribute significantly to genome variation and instability. Yet profiling STRs from short-read …

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 …

Abstract Background Short tandem repeats (STRs) compose approximately 3% of the
genome, and mutations at STR loci have been linked to dozens of human diseases …

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 …
