Genome-wide selection inference at short tandem repeats

Bonnie B. Huang, Arun Durvasula, Nima Mousavi, Helyaneh Ziaei Jam, Mikhail Maksimov, Kirk E. Lohmueller, Melissa Gymrek

The paper extends SISTR to jointly estimate selection coefficients across STRs, showing variation in mutation and selection parameters and greater selective burden of de novo STR mutations compared to standing variation.

Systematic evaluation of the impact of promoter proximal short tandem repeats on expression

Xuan Zhang, Zhang Lingzhi, Ellice Wang, Susan M. Benton, Eduardo Modolo, Mikhail Maksimov, Sharona Shleizer-Burko, Qingqing Gong, Catherine Wang, Michael Lamkin, Eric M. Mendenhall, Melissa Gymrek, Alon Goren

This study evaluates how promoter proximal short tandem repeats (STRs) affect gene expression using MPRA, identifying key factors like repeat unit sequence and copy number.

A deep population reference panel of tandem repeat variation

Helyaneh Ziaei Jam, Yang Li, Ross DeVito, Nima Mousavi, Nichole Ma, Ibra Lujumba, Yagoub Adam, Mikhail Maksimov, Bonnie B. Huang, Egor Dolzhenko, Yunjiang Qiu, Fredrick Elishama Kakembo, Habi Joseph, Blessing Onyido, Jumoke Adeyemi, , Melissa Gymrek

The paper creates a deep population reference panel of tandem repeat variation using whole genome sequencing and develops a method to genotype over 1.7 million TR loci, identifying novel eQTL signals and a phased haplotype panel for imputation.
