All mammals have basically the same set of genes, yet there are obviously some significant differences that distinguish the various species. Recent research suggests that one such difference involves ...
Over 40 tandem repeats undergo expansion events that lead to neurological disease. This number is likely an underestimate as many repeats are difficult to amplify using existing short read sequencing ...
An international team of researchers led by computer scientists at the University of California San Diego have identified 163 variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) that actively regulate gene ...
A research team has recently constructed a global polymorphism genetic map of variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs), termed the NyuWa VNTR Polymorphism Map. The team has generated maps using ...
We found a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) sequence with 38-bp repetitive units in the promoter region of a gene of unknown function on human chromosome 11p15. Polymerase chain reaction ...
