Abstract excerpt
Short tandem repeats (STRs) represent an important class of genetic variation that can contribute to phenotypic differences. Although millions of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and short indels have been identified among wild Caenorhabditis elegans strains, the natural diversity in STRs remains unknown. Here, we characterized the distribution of 31,991 STRs with motif lengths of 1-6 bp in the reference genome...
