A genome-wide spectrum of tandem repeat expansions in 338,963 humans. Tandem repeats (TRs), constituting ~6% of the human genome, have profound impacts in evolution and human …

What is a tandem repeat? A tandem repeat is a region of the genome where a short nucleotide sequence (from two bases to several hundred bases) is repeated one-after-another -- that is, …

Tandem repeat sequences span multiple classes of DNA including short tandem repeats, variable-number tandem repeats, satellite DNA, and segmental duplications. Long-read …

Jan 2, 2024 · Here we describe the Tandem Repeat Genotyping Tool (TRGT), a method for analysis of repeats in long-read data, as well as a companion method for Tandem Repeat …

Feb 5, 2018 · A better understanding of tandem repeats and their associated repeatome, as well as their capacity for genetic plasticity via both germline and somatic mutations, is needed to …

Microsatellites (or short tandem repeats, STR) correspond to repetitions of typically 2–6 and up to 9 nucleotides and are the most common repeats present in noncoding regions of genes.

The Tandem Repeats Database (TRDB) is a public repository of information on tandem repeats in genomic DNA. It contains a variety of tools for repeat analysis, including the Tandem Repeats …
