Relatively semi-conservative replication and a folded slippage model for short tandem repeats
Abstract Background The ubiquitous presence of short tandem repeats (STRs) in virtually all genomes implicates their functional relevance, while a widely-accepted definition of STR is yet to be established. Previous studies majorly focus on relatively longer STRs, while shorter repeats were generall...
