Functional and immunological relevance of Anaplasma marginale major surface protein 1a sequence and structural analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Bovine anaplasmosis is caused by cattle infection with the tick-borne bacterium, Anaplasma marginale. The major surface protein 1a (MSP1a) has been used as a genetic marker for identifying A.

Diversity in coding tandem repeats in related Neisseria spp. [PDF]

BMC Microbiology, 2003
Background Tandem repeats contained within coding regions can mediate phase variation when the repeated units change the reading frame of the coding sequence in a copy number dependent manner.

Analysis of the largest tandemly repeated DNA families in the human genome [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2008
Background Tandemly Repeated DNA represents a large portion of the human genome, and accounts for a significant amount of copy number variation. Here we present a genome wide analysis of the largest tandem repeats found in the human genome sequence ...

Native functions of short tandem repeats

eLife, 2023
Over a third of the human genome is comprised of repetitive sequences, including more than a million short tandem repeats (STRs). While studies of the pathologic consequences of repeat expansions that cause syndromic human diseases are extensive, the ...

Genome-wide survey of tandem repeats by nanopore sequencing shows that disease-associated repeats are more polymorphic in the general population

BMC Medical Genomics, 2021
Background Tandem repeats are highly mutable and contribute to the development of human disease by a variety of mechanisms. It is difficult to predict which tandem repeats may cause a disease.

Genomic abundance is not predictive of tandem repeat localization in grass genomes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Highly repetitive regions have historically posed a challenge when investigating sequence variation and content. High-throughput sequencing has enabled researchers to use whole-genome shotgun sequencing to estimate the abundance of repetitive sequence ...

The Singular Evolution of Olea Genome Structure

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The current view of plant genome evolution proposes that genome size has mainly been determined by polyploidisation and amplification/loss of transposons, with a minor role played by other repeated sequences, such as tandem repeats.

Assessing the role of tandem repeats in shaping the genomic architecture of great apes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Ancestral reconstructions of mammalian genomes have revealed that evolutionary breakpoint regions are clustered in regions that are more prone to break and reorganize.

Chromosomal Mapping of Tandem Repeats Revealed Massive Chromosomal Rearrangements and Insights Into Senna tora Dysploidy

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Tandem repeats can occupy a large portion of plant genomes and can either cause or result from chromosomal rearrangements, which are important drivers of dysploidy-mediated karyotype evolution and speciation.
