Short tandem repeats (STRs) are small, repeated sequences of DNA scattered throughout the human genome. While some of these repeats are known to cause severe genetic disorders, scientists are now beginning to understand how more subtle changes in these sequences might influence how genes are turned on or off. Researchers from Sweet Briar College …
