Genome-wide survey of tandem repeats by nanopore sequencing shows that disease-associated repeats are more polymorphic in the general population
2019-12-20
Abstract excerpt
Tandem repeats are highly mutable and contribute to the development of human disease by a variety of mechanisms. However, it is difficult to predict which tandem repeats may cause a disease. We performed a genome-wide survey of the millions of human tandem repeats using long read genome sequencing data from 16 humans. We found that known Mendelian disease-causing or disease-associated repeats, especially coding CA...
