Ethnically biased microsatellites contribute to differential gene expression and glutathione metabolism in Africans and Europeans.

Ethnically biased microsatellites contribute to differential gene expression and glutathione metabolism in Africans and Europeans.

Approximately three percent of the human genome is occupied by microsatellites: a type of short tandem repeat (STR). Microsatellites have well established effects on (a) the genetic structure of diverse human populations and (b) expression of nearby genes. These lines of inquiry have uncovered 3,984...
