A 40 base polymorphism of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) has been described in the 3′ untranslated region of the gene (SLC6A3) coding for the dopamine transporter (DAT). Despite being ...
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 ...

Researchers used long-read sequencing to examine the evolution of short tandem repeats and variable number tandem repeats, series of repeating nucleotide sequences that are among the most unstable ...
A research team led by Profs. XU Tao and HE Shunmin from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has recently constructed a global polymorphism genetic map of variable number ...
