Directional Decremental Abundance of (GA)9 and (GA)11 Blocks in Primate Speciation

2021-01-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Recent evidence indicates that expansion of a number of short tandem repeats (STRs) may be a result of natural selection. The human neuron-specific genes, RIT2 and GPM6B , contain two of the longest GA-STRs at 11 and 9-repeats, respectively, the length ranges of which are functional, and exceedingly rare repeats at the extreme end of those STRs occur with major human disorders. To examine the...
