Short Tandem Repeats in plants: Genomic distribution and function prediction
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2021 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 ...

Modification of Huntington's disease by short tandem repeats. [PDF]
Brain CommunAbstract 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.

A Brief Review of Short Tandem Repeat Mutation
Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics, 2007 Abstract Short tandem repeats (STRs) are short tandemly repeated DNA sequences that involve a repetitive unit of 1–6 bp. Because of their polymorphisms and high mutation rates, STRs are widely used in biological research. Strand-slippage replication is the predominant mutation mechanism of STRs, and the stepwise mutation model is ...

Relatively semi-conservative replication and a folded slippage model for short tandem repeats
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background The ubiquitous presence of short tandem repeats (STRs) in virtually all genomes implicates their functional relevance, while a widely-accepted definition of STR is yet to be established. Previous studies majorly focus on relatively longer STRs,

Condensin Promotes Position Effects within Tandem DNA Repeats via the RITS Complex
Cell Reports, 2016 Summary: Tandem repetitive DNA is highly abundant in eukaryotic genomes and contributes to transcription control and genome stability. However, how the individual sequences within tandem repeats behave remains largely unknown.
