Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) are a class of genetic variant that has been systematically understudied. To address this limitation, we've compiled a catalog of STR variation using over 1000 individuals from the 1000 Genomes Project.
To get started, explore one of the options below:
Select a subset of STRs based on their sequence properties and genomic locations
Search for STRs in or around a gene of interest using RefSeq transcript annotations
Identify population-informative STRs based on their variability in a subset of populations
Visualize distributions of allele length and heterozygosity and the alignments supporting each allele
