Identification of Melioidosis Outbreak by Multilocus Variable Number Tandem Repeat Analysis
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 Endemic melioidosis is caused by genetically diverse Burkholderia pseudomallei strains. However, clonal outbreaks (multiple cases caused by 1 strain) have occurred, such as from contaminated potable water. B.

Variable number of tandem repeats in clinical strains of Haemophilus influenzae [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1997 An algorithm capable of identifying short repeat motifs was developed and used to screen the whole genome sequence available for Haemophilus influenzae, since some of these repeats have been shown to affect bacterial ...

XRCC3 Thr241Met and TYMS variable number tandem repeat polymorphisms are associated with time-to-metastasis in colorectal cancer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Metastasis is a major cause of mortality in cancer. Identifying prognostic factors that distinguish patients who will experience metastasis in the short-term and those that will be free of metastasis in the long-term is of particular interest in current ...

Variable Number Tandem Repeats mediate the expression of proximal genes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 AbstractVariable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) account for a significant amount of human genetic variation. VNTRs have been implicated in both Mendelian and Complex disorders, but are largely ignored by whole genome analysis pipelines due to the complexity of genotyping and the computational expense.
