Abstract excerpt
Significant progress has been made in elucidating single nucleotide polymorphism diversity in the human population. However, the majority of the variation space in the genome is structural and remains partially elusive. One form of structural variation is tandem repeats (TRs). Expansion of TRs are responsible for over 40 diseases, but we hypothesize these represent only a fraction of the pathogenic repeat...
