Novel ATXN10 Repeat Motif Patterns in Peruvian Families Modify Disease Onset | Neurology Genetics ObjectivesSpinocerebellar ataxia type 10 (SCA10) is an autosomal-dominant disorder caused by intronic expansions of pentanucleotide repeats in the ATXN10 gene. While various repeat motifs have been de...

Just published an interactive article about a magical algorithm known as the Burrows-Wheeler Transform, which powers sequence alignment tools like bowtie and bwa: sandbox.bio/concepts/bwt

It's also notoriously unintuitive so I'm hoping this article helps you build that intuition.
