What Does STS Stand For?
STS stands for Sequence Tagged Site
STS, or Sequence Tagged Site, refers to a short, unique DNA sequence that is associated with a specific location on a chromosome. These markers are used in genetic mapping and can facilitate the analysis of genomic structure and function. STSs serve as essential tools in genome sequencing projects, enabling researchers to identify and track specific sequences and their associated traits.
