ABSTRACT
In this study, we explore the landscape of short tandem repeats (STRs) within the human genome through the lens of evolving technologies to detect genomic variations. STRs, which encompass approximately 3% of our genomic DNA, are crucial for understanding human genetic diversity, disease mechanisms, and evolutionary biology. The advent of high-throughput sequencing methods has revolutionized our ability to accurately map and analyze STRs, highlighting their significance in genetic disorders, forensic science, and population genetics. We review the current available methodologies for STR analysis, the challenges in interpreting STR variations across different populations, and the implications of STRs in medical genetics. Our findings underscore the urgent need for comprehensive STR databases that reflect the genetic diversity of global populations, facilitating the interpretation of STR data in clinical diagnostics, genetic research, and forensic applications. This work sets the stage for future studies aimed at harnessing STR variations to elucidate complex genetic traits and diseases, reinforcing the importance of integrating STRs into genetic research and clinical practice.
