The majority of studies employing short tandem repeats (STRs) require investigation of several of these genetic markers. As such, we demonstrate the feasibility of the trinucleotide threading (TnT) approach for scalable analysis of STRs. The TnT method represents a parallel amplification alternative that addresses the obstacles associated with multiplex PCR. In this study, analysis of the STR f...

DEAD-box RNA helicases are involved in many aspects of RNA metabolism and in diverse biological processes in plants. Arabidopsis thaliana mutants of two DEAD-box RNA helicases, STRESS RESPONSE SUPPRESSOR1 (STRS1) and STRS2 were previously shown to exhibit tolerance to abiotic stresses and up-regulated stress-responsive gene expression. Here, we show that Arabidopsis STRS-overexpressing lines di...

OBJECTIVES Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) are a useful biological resource, however, genomic variations can happen during the generation and immortalization processes of LCLs. The purpose of this study was to identify genomic variations in LCL DNA compared with matched blood DNA using short tandem repeats (STRs) analysis. METHODS We analyzed 15 STRs with...

INTRODUCTION Adherence to antiretroviral (ARV) treatment for HIV-1 is crucial to achieving optimal clinical outcomes. Simplification of regimens with once-daily single-tablet regimens (STRs) can improve adherence compared to multi-tablet regimens (MTRs). This study compared real-world persistence (a proxy for treatment effectiveness and adherence) between HIV-1 infected patients receiving STRs ...

Allelic quantification of STRs, where the presence of three or more alleles represents mixtures, provides a novel method to identify mixtures from unknown biological sources. The allelic stutters resulting in slightly different repeat containing products during fragment amplification can be mistaken for true alleles complicating a simple approach to mixture analysis. An algorithm based on the a...

Background: Quantitative fluorescence-polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) is an inexpensive and accurate method for the prenatal diagnosis of aneuploidies that applies short tandem repeats (STRs) as a chromosome-specific marker. Despite its apparent advantages, QF-PCR is not applicable in all cases due to the presence of uninformative STRs. This study was carried out to investigate the efficienc...

The Y chromosome is one of the smallest human chromosomes with an average size of 60 million base pairs (Mb). Between X and Y chromosomes, exchange is limited to small pseudoautosomal regions (PAR) of the X-Y pair (see Figure 1). During male meiosis, recombination only takes place at the most distal short arm (PAR 1) and at the tip of the Y chromosome long arm (PAR 2). For most of its length (t...

Short tandem repeat (STR) variation has been proposed as a major explanatory factor in the heritability of complex traits in humans and model organisms. However, we still struggle to incorporate STR variation into genotype-phenotype maps. We review here the promise of STRs in contributing to complex trait heritability and highlight the challenges that STRs pose due to their repetitive nature. W...
