Colorectal cancers (CRCs) with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) or microsatellite instability-
high (MSI-H) often have sustained responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) …

Advancing technologies have facilitated the ever‐widening application of genetic markers
such as microsatellites into new systems and research questions in biology. In light of the …

Microsatellites have been popular molecular markers ever since their advent in the late
eighties. Despite growing competition from new genotyping and sequencing techniques, the …

Their ability to move within genomes gives transposable elements an intrinsic propensity to
affect genome evolution. Non-long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons—including LINE …

A population-based screen to determine the genetic frequency of myotonic dystrophy (DM)
is technically feasible but has not yet been performed on a large scale. The most ambitious …
