Genotyping short tandem repeats across copy number alterations, aneuploidies, and polyploid organisms [PDF]
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are a rich source of genetic variation, but are difficult to genotype. While specialized repeat variant callers exist, they typically assume a euploid human genome.

Natural variation in C. elegans short tandem repeats. [PDF]
Short tandem repeats (STRs) represent an important class of genetic variation that can contribute to phenotypic differences. Although millions of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and short indels have been identified among wild Caenorhabditis elegans strains, the natural diversity in STRs ...

Modification of Huntington's disease by short tandem repeats. [PDF]
Abstract Expansions of glutamine-coding CAG trinucleotide repeats cause a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Huntington’s disease and several of spinocerebellar ataxias. In general, age-at-onset of the polyglutamine diseases is inversely correlated with the size of the respective inherited expanded CAG repeat.

Evaluation of allelic alterations in short tandem repeats in papillary thyroid cancer
Background Malignant tissue samples may be the only source of biological material for forensic investigations, including individual identification or paternity testing; however, such samples may lead to uncertainties due to frequent genomic aberrations ...

Analysis of short tandem repeats by parallel DNA threading. [PDF]
The majority of studies employing short tandem repeats (STRs) require investigation of several of these genetic markers. As such, we demonstrate the feasibility of the trinucleotide threading (TnT) approach for scalable analysis of STRs.

Short Tandem Repeats in plants: Genomic distribution and function prediction
Background: Short Tandem repeats (STRs) existed as popular elements in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes. Results: In this study, we analyzed the characteristics, distributions, and motif features of STRs within whole-genomes of 140 plant species ...
