Marked variation in predicted and observed variability of tandem repeat loci across the human genome.

BMC genomics - 16 Apr 2008

O'Dushlaine Colm T, Shields Denis C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tandem repeat (TR) variants in the human genome play key roles in a number of diseases. However, current models predicting variability are based on limited training sets. We conducted a systematic analysis of TRs of unit lengths 2-12 nucleotides in Whole Genome Shotgun (WGS) sequences to define the extent of variation of 209,214 unique repeat loci throughout the genome. RESULTS: We applied a...
