Multiple Locus Variable number of tandem repeat Analysis : a molecular genotyping tool for Paenibacillus larvae [PDF]
, 2016 American Foulbrood, caused by Paenibacillus larvae, is the most severe bacterial disease of honey bees (Apis mellifera). To perform genotyping of P.larvae in an epidemiological context, there is a need of a fast and cheap method with a high resolution ...

Variable Tandem Repeats Accelerate Evolution of Coding and Regulatory Sequences
Annual Review of Genetics, 2010 Genotype-to-phenotype mapping commonly focuses on two major classes of mutations: single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variation (CNV). Here, we discuss an underestimated third class of genotypic variation: changes in microsatellite and minisatellite repeats.

Tandem Repeats Contribute to Coding Sequence Variation in Bumblebees (Hymenoptera: Apidae) [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2017 AbstractTandem repeats (TRs) are highly dynamic regions of the genome. Mutations at these loci represent a significant source of genetic variation and can facilitate rapid adaptation. Bumblebees are important pollinating insects occupying a wide range of habitats.

Sunflower centromeres consist of a centromere-specific LINE and a chromosome-specific tandem repeat
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 The kinetochore is a protein complex including kinetochore-specific proteins that plays a role in chromatid segregation during mitosis and meiosis. The complex associates with centromeric DNA sequences that are usually species-specific. In plant species,

Evolution of Tandem Repeats Is Mirroring Post-polyploid Cladogenesis in Heliophila (Brassicaceae)
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The unigeneric tribe Heliophileae encompassing more than 100 Heliophila species is morphologically the most diverse Brassicaceae lineage. The tribe is endemic to southern Africa, confined chiefly to the southwestern South Africa, home of two biodiversity

The Sorghum bicolor reference genome: improved assembly, gene annotations, a transcriptome atlas, and signatures of genome organization. [PDF]
, 2017 Sorghum bicolor is a drought tolerant C4 grass used for the production of grain, forage, sugar, and lignocellulosic biomass and a genetic model for C4 grasses due to its relatively small genome (approximately 800 Mbp), diploid genetics, diverse ...

Detecting Expansions of Tandem Repeats in Cohorts Sequenced with Short-Read Sequencing Data [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2018 Repeat expansions cause more than 30 inherited disorders, predominantly neurogenetic. These can present with overlapping clinical phenotypes, making molecular diagnosis challenging. Single-gene or small-panel PCR-based methods can help to identify the precise genetic cause, but they can be slow and costly and often yield no result.
