How do transposable elements and short tandem repeats (STRs) differ?

#Part-B Specialized Branches in Biotechnology
  1. STRs occur within exons; transposable elements occur within introns.

  2. STRs occur within introns; transposable elements occur within exons.

  3. STRs make up only a small percentage of a given genome while transposable elements often make up larger parts of a given genome.

  4. The repeated unit in STRs is much larger than the repeated unit of transposable elements.
