NanoSatellite: accurate characterization of expanded tandem repeat length and sequence through whole genome long-read sequencing on PromethION

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2019
Technological limitations have hindered the large-scale genetic investigation of tandem repeats in disease. We show that long-read sequencing with a single Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION flow cell per individual achieves 30× human genome ...

Rediscovering tandem repeat variation in schizophrenia: challenges and opportunities

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2023
Tandem repeats (TRs) are prevalent throughout the genome, constituting at least 3% of the genome, and often highly polymorphic. The high mutation rate of TRs, which can be orders of magnitude higher than single-nucleotide polymorphisms and indels ...

A gammaherpesviral internal repeat contributes to latency amplification. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Gammaherpesviruses cause important infections of humans, in particular in immunocompromised patients. The genomes of gammaherpesviruses contain variable numbers of internal repeats whose precise role for in vivo pathogenesis is not well understood.

Genetic Diversity and Genotype Distribution of Erwinia amylovora in Korea [PDF]

open access: yesThe Plant Pathology Journal
Erwinia amylovora, first identified in 1793 in Hudson Valley (New York, USA), has a genome size of 3.7–4.0 Mb. E. amylovora bacterial strains are classified based on the infecting hosts: the Amygdaloideae-infecting (AI) group, targeting apple and pear ...

Insertion of ten amino acids into 13S globulin zero-repeat subunit improves trypsin digestibility in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) seeds

open access: yesFood Chemistry: Molecular Sciences, 2023
The 13S globulin zero-repeat subunit is resistant to trypsin and may have higher allergenicity than the 1–6 tandem repeat subunits in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench).

On some spectral properties of TanDEM-X interferograms over forested areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This letter reports about some obervations over rainforest (in Brazil and Indonesia), where the spectra of TanDEM-X interferograms show distinct features, almost a signature, which is explained and modelled in terms of the scattering properties ...

Tandem repeats of the 5′ flanking region of human MUC5AC have a role as a novel enhancer in MUC5AC gene expression

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2019
MUC5AC is a well-known gastric differentiation marker, which has been frequently used for the classification of stomach cancer. However, the molecular mechanism of regulation of MUC5AC expression remains to be elucidated.

Evaluation of customised lineage-specific sets of MIRU-VNTR loci for genotyping Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates in Ghana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Different combinations of variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci have been proposed for genotyping Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Existing VNTR schemes show different discriminatory capacity among the six human MTBC lineages.

Evolution and control of imprinted FWA genes in the genus Arabidopsis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2008
A central question in genomic imprinting is how a specific sequence is recognized as the target for epigenetic marking. In both mammals and plants, imprinted genes are often associated with tandem repeats and transposon-related sequences, but the role of

Gene–Environment Interactions in Repeat Expansion Diseases: Mechanisms of Environmentally Induced Repeat Instability

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are units of 1–6 base pairs that occur in tandem repetition to form a repeat tract. STRs exhibit repeat instability, which generates expansions or contractions of the repeat tract.
