Mitochondrial genome-derived microsatellites reveal genetic diversity and population structure in Callery pear populations.

A brief review of Lynch syndrome: understanding the dual cancer risk between endometrial and colorectal cancer

Lynch syndrome (LS) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by germline mutations in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes. These mutations result in frameshift alterations, leading to the accumulation of errors within microsatellites. Individua...

RNA biology of disease-associated microsatellite repeat expansions

Abstract Microsatellites, or simple tandem repeat sequences, occur naturally in the human genome and have important roles in genome evolution and function. However, the expansion of microsatellites is associated with over two dozen neurolog...
