Genome-wide profiling of short tandem repeat somatic instability reveals associations with age, sex and brain-related traits

Jialu Hu, Richard Mantey, Hengyuan Guo…·N. Ahmad Aziz

The paper introduces searchSTR, a tool for genome-wide STR somatic instability analysis, and finds associations between STR instability and age, sex, brain morphology, and neurodegeneration markers.
