Genome-wide identification of tandem repeats associated with splicing variation across 49 tissues in humans

Tandem repeats (TRs) are one of the largest sources of polymorphism, and their length is associated with gene regulation. Although previous studies reported several tandem repeats regulating gene splicing in cis (spl-TRs), no large-scale study has been conducted. In this study, we established a genome-wide catalog of 9537 spl-TRs with a total of 58,290 significant TR–splicing associations across 49 tissues (false discovery rate 5%) by using Genotype-Tissue expression (GTex) Project data.
