The repertoire of short tandem repeats across the tree of life

2024-08-09

Abstract excerpt

Short tandem repeats (STRs) are widespread, dynamic repetitive elements with a number of biological functions and relevance to human diseases. However, their prevalence across taxa remains poorly characterized. Here we examined the impact of STRs in the genomes of 117,253 organisms spanning the tree of life. We find that there are large differences in the frequencies of STRs between organismal genomes and these di...
