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 ...
Tandem repeats are segments of DNA in which short nucleotide motifs are repeated in contiguous blocks. These repeated sequences—particularly short tandem repeats (STRs) composed of 1–6 base pair ...
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 ...
