Mutations of short tandem repeats explain abundant trait heritability in Arabidopsis

Mutations of short tandem repeats explain abundant trait heritability in Arabidopsis

Abstract Background Short tandem repeat (STR) mutations are major drivers of genetic variation and deeply influence phenotypic diversity and evolution, they are often overlooked despite their significant effects. Results Here, we leverage mutation accumulation lines descended from Col-0 accession of...
