Genome-wide meta-analysis of short-tandem repeats for Parkinson’s disease risk using genotype imputation

open access: yesBrain Communications
Idiopathic Parkinson’s disease is determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Recently, the first genome-wide association study on short-tandem repeats in Parkinson’s disease reported on eight suggestive short-tandem repeat-based ...

The short tandem repeat locus D3S1359

Forensic Science International, 1998
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are used by many laboratories throughout the world performing paternity testing or criminal casework. Nevertheless, many of the established STRs have obvious disadvantages such as low number of common alleles (e.g., hTPO, THO1) or alleles with frequencies of nearly 50% (e.g., hTPO, FES).

Accuracy of short tandem repeats genotyping tools in whole exome sequencing data [PDF]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2020
Background: Short tandem repeats are an important source of genetic variation. They are highly mutable and repeat expansions are associated dozens of human disorders, such as Huntington's disease and spinocerebellar ataxias.

Short Tandem Repeats and Genetic Variation

2010
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are widely distributed in the human genome and although most SNPs are the result of independent point-mutations, there are exceptions. When studying distances between SNPs, a periodic pattern in the distance between pairs of identical SNPs has been found to be heavily correlated with periodicity in short tandem ...

Profiling Short Tandem Repeats from Short Reads

2013
Short tandem repeats (STRs), also known as microsatellites, have a wide range of applications, including medical genetics, forensics, and population genetics. High-throughput sequencing has the potential to profile large numbers of STRs, but cumbersome gapped alignment and STR-specific noise patterns hamper this task. We recently developed an algorithm,

DNA Short Tandem Repeat Profiling of Morocco

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2003
Abstract Blood samples were randomly collected on 186 unrelated males coming from all regions of Morocco. DNA was extracted using a Nucleon extraction kit (Amersham Life Science) and was genotyped with the Powerplex 16 kit (Promega) containing markers D3S1358, TH01, D21S11, D18S51, Penta E, D5S818, D13S317, D7S820, D16S539, CSF1PO, Penta

A genomic view of short tandem repeats

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2017
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-wide interrogation of more than a million STRs across hundreds of individuals.

Short tandem repeat analysis in Japanese population

Electrophoresis, 2000
Short tandem repeats (STRs), known as microsatellites, are one of the most informative genetic markers for characterizing biological materials. Because of the relatively small size of STR alleles (generally 100-350 nucleotides), amplification by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is relatively easy, affording a high sensitivity of detection.

Microchip‐based forensic short tandem repeat genotyping

ELECTROPHORESIS, 2015
Micro total analysis system (μTAS) or lab‐on‐a‐chip (LOC) technology has advanced over decades, and the high performance for chemical and biological analysis has been well demonstrated with advantages of low sample consumption, rapid analysis time, high‐throughput screening, and portability.
