The accuracy, feasibility and challenges of sequencing short tandem repeats using next-generation sequencing platforms. [PDF]
To date we have little knowledge of how accurate next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are in sequencing repetitive sequences beyond known limitations to accurately sequence homopolymers.

Variable number of tandem repeat markers in the genome sequence of Mycosphaerella fijiensis, the causal agent of black leaf streak disease of banana (Musa spp) [PDF]
. We searched the genome of Mycosphaerella fijiensis for molecular markers that would allow population genetics analysis of this plant pathogen. M. fijiensis, the causal agent of banana leaf streak disease, also known as black Sigatoka, is the most ...

Vectorette PCR isolation of microsatellite repeat sequences using anchored dinucleotide repeat primers [PDF]
We have developed a vectorette PCR approach to provide an improved method for isolation of microsatellite repeats. The modified procedure relies on PCR amplification using a vectorette-specific primer in combination with one of a panel of anchored dinucleotide repeat primers.

Microsatellite Expansion Diseases: Repeat Toxicity Found in Translation [PDF]
Sellier et al. (2017) show that translation of expanded CGG repeats in fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome is initiated at an upstream ACG near-cognate start codon. The resulting polyglycine-containing protein, but not repeat RNA, is pathogenic by disrupting the nuclear lamina.

Clinical and mechanism research progress on short tandem repeat ⁃ related neuromuscular diseases
Short tandem repeat (STR) is a component of the human genome, the number of repeats of STR is prone to change during DNA replication, and when it exceeds a certain threshold, it will lead to the occurrence of diseases, most of which involve the nervous ...

RNA biology of disease-associated microsatellite repeat expansions [PDF]
Microsatellites, or simple tandem repeat sequences, occur naturally in the human genome and have important roles in genome evolution and function. However, the expansion of microsatellites is associated with over two dozen neurological diseases. A common denominator among the majority of these disorders is the expression of expanded tandem repeat ...
