All mammals have basically the same set of genes, yet there are obviously some significant differences that distinguish the various species. Recent research suggests that one such difference involves ...

Long-read genome sequencing reveals autism gene variants and structural changes, helping explain missing heritability and advancing precision diagnostics.

Tandem repeats are segments of DNA in which short nucleotide motifs are repeated in contiguous blocks. These repeated sequences—particularly short tandem repeats (STRs) composed of 1–6 base pair ...

Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

Researchers have built the first genetic reference map for tandem repeat expansions, a critical tool for congenital disease research. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine (CA, USA) have ...

Tandem repeats are hard to assess but important regions on the human genome. There are around 200 pathogenic and phenotypic tandem repeats, which are often ignored by standard analysis. Furthermore, ...

A research team has built a genetic reference maps for short lengths of DNA repeated multiple times which are known to cause more than 50 lethal human diseases, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

There is evidence that tandem repeat sequences (TRS) could have essential roles in cell functioning processes. We aimed to detect and describe minisatellites contained in the sequences of a cDNA ...

Tandem repeats of sequences in developmental genes may contribute to morphological evolution, according to a paper in this week's PNAS. John W. Fondon, III, and Harold R. Garner of the University of ...

Experience of seven Spanish centres with echoendoscopically implanted 32P microparticles associated with chemotherapy in locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract ...

FRAMINGHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Variantyx, a leader in genomic precision medicine, today announced that the set of short tandem repeat (STR) expansions detected by its Genomic Unity ® line of ...
