Short tandem repeats (STRs) are DNA sequences with multiple tandemly repeated units of two to five nucleotides, used as genetic markers in genetic profiling.
Short tandem repeats (STRs) are DNA sequences with multiple tandem repeats of short units (two to five nucleotides), and variations in these repeats are used as genetic markers for creating genetic profiles.
| Front | short tandem repeat (STR) |
|---|---|
| Back | Simple sequence DNA containing multiple tandemly repeated units of two to five nucleotides. Variations in [these] act as genetic markers in [this] analysis, used to prepare genetic profiles. |
