Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and short tandem repeats (STRs) are the most common genetic variations, are widespread within genomes, and form the diversity within species. These genetic variations affect many regulatory elements such as transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs), DNA methylation sites on CpG islands, and microRNA target sites; these elements have been found to play major as well as...
