Editorial: Could Speciation Across Evolution be Governed by Genetic Switch Codes at Short Tandem Repeats مقاله

Editorial:CouldSpeciationAcrossEvolutionbeGoverned by Genetic Switch Codes at Short Tandem Repeats? However, many of the disorders leading to severe disability and dependence on rehabilitation measures belong to the category that is human-specific. Short Tandem Repeats (STRs) may provide additional models for those hypothetical few events that might have resulted in speciation in evolutionary/adaptive terms. Proposed evolutionary model for the contribution of short tandem repeats (STRs) to speciation. The mathematical combination of certain STRs might have been used as spec- tacular codes for the evolution of different species, exempli- fied by a few STRs in the promoter sequence of certain genes such as CYTH4, ZMYM3, SCGB2B2, and PAXBP1. * Corresponding Author: Mina Ohadi, MD, PhD Address: Iranian Research Center on Aging, University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, Tehran, Iran. Core promoter short tandem repeats as evolutionary switch codes for primate spe- ciation. A primate-specific functional GTTT-repeat in the core promoter of CYTH4 is linked to bipolar disorder in human.
