Question: what is the difference between genes and vntrs?
Answer: These stretches of repeats, known as Variable Number of Tandem Repeats or VNTRs, can be isolated from an individual's DNA. ... VNTRs are similar to Short Tandem Repeats (For more on STRs, see page 3), the difference being that in a VNTR, the repeated sequence is longer — about 10-100 base pairs long.
