Mapping short tandem repeats for liver gene expression traits helps prioritize potential causal variants for complex traits in pigs

Abstract Background Short tandem repeats (STRs) were recently found to have significant impacts on gene expression and diseases in humans, but their roles on gene expression and complex traits in pigs remain unexplored. This study investigates the effects of STRs on gene expression in liver tissues...
