VNTRs (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) are short DNA sequences repeated adjacent to each other in introns, varying in length (number of repeats) between individuals.
- variable number tandem repeats - short DNA base sequence repeated with repetitions adjacent to each other - in intronic DNA - length (number of repeats) varies between individuals - eukaryotes have many VNTRs
