Genome-scale portrait and evolutionary significance of human-specific core promoter tri- and tetranucleotide short tandem repeats
Abstract Background While there is an ongoing trend to identify single nucleotide substitutions (SNSs) that are linked to inter/intra-species differences and disease phenotypes, short tandem repeats (STRs)/microsatellites may be of equal (if not more) importance in the above processes. Genes that co...
