Short tandem repeats delineate gene bodies across eukaryotes.

Abstract excerpt

Short tandem repeats (STRs) have emerged as important and hypermutable sites where genetic variation correlates with gene expression in plant and animal systems. Recently, it has been shown that a broad range of transcription factors (TFs) are affected by STRs near or in the DNA target binding site. Despite this, the distribution of STR motif repetitiveness in eukaryote genomes is still largely unknown. Here, we...
