Genome-wide investigation of VNTR motif polymorphisms in 8,222 genomes: Implications for biological regulation and human traits

Cell Genomics
Summary: Variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) is a pervasive and highly mutable genetic feature that varies in both length and repeat sequence. Despite the well-studied copy-number variants, the functional impacts of repeat motif polymorphisms remain ...

A Mycobacterium leprae VNTR database

Leprosy Review, 2010
A great deal of the last quarter of a century’s astonishing progress in understanding and treating human disease is attributable to the existence of public databases where information about DNA sequences, protein sequences, protein structures, human variation, etc. is stored and is freely available to all interested investigators.

Genome-wide prediction of human VNTRs

Genomics, 2005
Polymorphic minisatellites, also known as variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs), are tandem repeat regions that show variation in the number of repeat units among chromosomes in a population. Currently, there are no general methods for predicting which minisatellites have a high probability of being polymorphic, given their sequence characteristics.

Meta-analysis of the DRD5 VNTR in persistent ADHD [PDF]

European Neuropsychopharmacology, 2016
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common neuropsychiatric disorder with a complex genetic background. DRD5, the gene encoding the dopamine receptor D5, was recently confirmed as a candidate gene for ADHD in children through meta-analysis.

Effect of seed circulation systems on the spread and diversity of Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. manihotis infecting cassava crops of the Colombian Caribbean

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 353-364, January 2026.
Cassava is a lifeline for millions of people across the tropics, but its productivity is at risk from a disease called Cassava Bacterial Blight (CBB). In this study, we explore how the everyday practices of farmers exchanging cassava cuttings—a long‐standing tradition—can shape how the disease spreads and evolves in the Colombian Caribbean.

Evolutionary history of the PER3 variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR): idiosyncratic aspect of primate molecular circadian clock. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The PER3 gene is one of the clock genes, which function in the core mammalian molecular circadian system. A variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) locus in the 18th exon of this gene has been strongly associated to circadian rhythm phenotypes and sleep

Non‐canonical nitric oxide signalling and DNA methylation: Inflammation induced epigenetic alterations and potential drug targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 1, Page 24-39, January 2026.
Abstract DNA methylation controls DNA accessibility to transcription factors and other regulatory proteins, thereby affecting gene expression and hence cellular identity and function. As epigenetic modifications control the transcriptome, epigenetic dysfunction is strongly associated with pathological conditions and ageing.

AIRE's Complex Role Beyond Promiscuous Gene Expression

Immunological Reviews, Volume 337, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Central tolerance, established in the thymus, ensures T cells are nonreactive to self‐antigens while maintaining a functional immune repertoire. Medullary thymic epithelial cells (mTECs) and thymic dendritic cells (DCs) play a crucial role in this mechanism by orchestrating the selection and deletion of autoreactive thymocytes, a process ...

Tuberculosis transmission in Northwest of Iran: Using MIRU-VNTR, ETR-VNTR and IS6110-RFLP methods

Infection, Genetics and Evolution, 2011
Tuberculosis is the main cause for adults' death from a single infectious agent killing about 2 million people every year. Identifying the source of transmission infection is necessary to decrease tuberculosis. In this study we used IS6110-RFLP, MIRU-VNTR and ETR-VNTR methods to determine transmission dynamic of tuberculosis in Northwest of Iran from ...
