Clinal Variation in Short Tandem Repeats Linked to Gene Expression in Sunflower (<i>Helianthus annuus</i> L.)

Short tandem repeat (STR) variation is rarely explored as a contributor to adaptive evolution. An intriguing mechanism involving STRs suggests that STRs function as “tuning knobs” of adaptation whereby stepwise changes in STR allele length have stepwise effects on phenotypes. Previously, we tested t...
