VNTR prediction on sequence characteristics using long-read annotation and validation by short-read pileup
2020-07-17
Abstract excerpt
Tandem repeats (TRs) are contiguously repetitive sequences with a high mutation rate. Several human diseases have been associated with an expansion of TR, a mutation which constitutes a change in their number of repetitions. Nevertheless, these Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) have not been included in many genome-wide studies. The reason is that VNTR genotyping is inaccurate using short-read sequencing whil...
