Genome-wide characterization of human minisatellite VNTRs: population-specific alleles and gene expression differences

2020-11-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Variable Number Tandem Repeats (VNTRs) are tandem repeat (TR) loci that vary in copy number across a population. Using our program, VNTRseek, we analyzed human whole genome sequencing datasets from 2,770 individuals in order to detect minisatellite VNTRs, i.e., those with pattern sizes ≥7 bp. We detected 35,638 VNTR loci and classified 5,676 as commonly polymorphic (i.e., with non-reference alle...
