Native functions of short tandem repeats
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 ...

TRDB--The Tandem Repeats Database [PDF]
Tandem repeats in DNA have been under intensive study for many years, first, as a consequence of their usefulness as genomic markers and DNA fingerprints and more recently as their role in human disease and regulatory processes has become apparent. The Tandem Repeats Database (TRDB) is a public repository of information on tandem repeats in genomic DNA.

Unique Features of Tandem Repeats in Bacteria [PDF]
We found an enigmatic group of noncoding satellites in 85 bacterial genomes with a constant repeat size but variable sequence. This pattern of DNA organization is unique and had not been previously described in bacteria. These findings strongly suggest that satellite size in some bacteria is under strong selective constraints and thus that satellites ...

Evolutionary Study of Protein Short Tandem Repeats in Protein Families
Tandem repeats in proteins are patterns of residues repeated directly adjacent to each other. The evolution of these repeats can be assessed by using groups of homologous sequences, which can help pointing to events of unit duplication or deletion.

Background DNA sequence composition affects meiotic recombination. However, the correlation between tandem repeat composition and meiotic recombination in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is unclear.

Polymorphic Tandem Repeat (PTR) is a common form of polymorphism in the human genome. A PTR consists in a variation found in an individual (or in a population) of the number of repeating units of a Tandem Repeat (TR) locus of the genome with respect to ...

Condensin Promotes Position Effects within Tandem DNA Repeats via the RITS Complex
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.
