Variable Numbers of Tandem Repeats in Plasmodium falciparum Genes [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 2010 Genome variation studies in Plasmodium falciparum have focused on SNPs and, more recently, large-scale copy number polymorphisms and ectopic rearrangements. Here, we examine another source of variation: variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs). Interspersed low complexity features, including the well-studied P.

Francisella tularensis strain typing using multiple-locus, variable-number tandem repeat analysis [PDF]
, 2001 Francisella tularensis, the etiological agent of tularemia, is found throughout the Northern hemisphere. After analyzing the F. tularensis genomic sequence for potential variable-number tandem repeats (VNTRs), we developed a multilocus VNTR analysis ...

Multiple-Locus Variable-Number Tandem Repeat Analysis of Neisseria gonorrhoeae [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2011 ABSTRACT The prevalence of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the Netherlands has increased in recent years. A multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) was developed to assess the molecular epidemiology of N .

vamos: variable-number tandem repeats annotation using efficient motif sets
Genome Biology, 2023 AbstractRoughly 3% of the human genome is composed of variable-number tandem repeats (VNTRs): arrays of motifs at least six bases. These loci are highly polymorphic, yet current approaches that define and merge variants based on alignment breakpoints do not capture their full diversity.

Discriminatory ability of hypervariable variable number tandem repeat loci in population-based analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains, London, UK [PDF]
, 2009 To address conflicting results about the stability of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) loci and their value in prospective molecular epidemiology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we conducted a large prospective population-based analysis of all M ...
