Tandem repeats (TRs) play important roles in genomic variation and disease risk in humans. Long-read sequencing allows for the accurate characterization of TRs; however, the underlying bioinformatics perspectives remain challenging. We present otter and TREAT: otter is a fast tar ...
Background
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified 86 SNPs associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). GWAS-SNPs are markers of genetic variation in linkage disequilibrium (LD), which may drive the association with AD. One major class of genetic variation are Str ...
