Characterizing nucleotide variation and expansion dynamics in human-specific variable number tandem repeats

2021-03-26

Abstract excerpt

There are over 55,000 variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) in the human genome, notable for both their striking polymorphism and mutability. Despite their role in human evolution and genomic variation, they have yet to be studied collectively and in detail, partially due to their large size, variability, and predominant location in non-coding regions. Here, we examine 467 VNTRs that are human-specific expansions...
