Abstract excerpt
Some untranslated sequence (UTR)-localized, short tandem repeats (STRs) exhibit evidence of selection pressure, including STR-coupling preferences, STR conservation, interspecies STR-STR replacements, and STR variants implicated in certain diseases. We wished to determine if STR replacements occurred near disease-related genes, including previously unstudied STRs as well as some STRs already implicated in...
