A comprehensive microsatellite landscape of human Y-DNA at kilobase resolution

Abstract: Background Though interest in human simple sequence repeats (SSRs) is increasing, little is known about the exact distributional features of numerous SSRs in human Y-DNA at chromosomal level. Herein, totally 540 maps were established, which could clearly display SSR landscape in every bin of 1 k base pairs (Kbp) along the sequenced part of human reference Y-DNA (NC_000024.10), by our developed differential method for improving the existing method to reveal SSR distributional characteristics in … Show more

“…More than 5% of the GRCh38 human genome consists of STRs instead of about 3% [43] (Table S2). Furthermore, the microsatellites landscapes at 1 Kbp resolution, as we displayed in the reference human Y-DNA previously [30], were comprehensively surveyed in the reference sequences of the GRCh38 human genome. Then, a total 58,769 SSRs landscape maps were obtained in the GRCh38 human genome (Fig.…”

“…IMEx 2.1 (Imperfect Microsatellite Extractor) was applied to identify STRs in the investigated genomes, which can find out relatively shorter STRs [31]. The threshold, which represents the lowest copy number of STR repeat units, was set at 6, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 for extracting perfect mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexanucleotide STRs respectively according to many previous STRs studies [30,32,33]. RepeatMasker and Tandem Repeat Finder were used as the reference tools for STRs identification [34,35].…”

“…SSRs are ubiquitous in the genome of higher organisms and exhibit genetic polymorphism at inter- and intra-species levels (Bruford and Wayne 1993; Ellegren, 2004; Amiteye, 2021). Therefore, they have been widely used in population genetics (Chen et al, 2022; Sapkota et al, 2022;), genotyping, marker-assisted breeding, genome-wide association analysis (Li et al, 2014; Jha et al, 2021; Kim et al, 2021), forensic investigation (Li et al, 2021; Wang et al, 2022), evolutionary studies (Nowicki et al, 2021; Song et al, 2021; de Freitas et al, 2022), and conservation genetics (Rodríguez-Peña et al, 2018; Dong et al, 2022; Ming et al, 2022).…”
