Tandem repeat variation in human and great ape populations and its impact on gene expression divergence

2015-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Tandem repeats (TR) are stretches of DNA that are highly variable in length and mutate rapidly, and thus an important source of genetic variation. This variation is highly informative for population and conservation genetics, and has also been associated with several pathological conditions and with gene expression regulation. However, genome-wide surveys of TR variation have been scarce due to the technical diffi...
