short, repeated lengths of dna DNA的短重复序列 or DNA的重复短序列 Explanation: Scientifically speaking, in the text provided above regarding the STR profiling technique, the study subject is the sequence (序列) of the DNA, not the whole chain of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). STR analysis: The method of DNA profiling used today is based on PCR and uses short tandem repeats (STR). This method uses highly polymorphic regions that have short repeated sequences of DNA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_profiling#STR_analysis Therefore, the more accurate corresponding Chinese phrase should be: DNA的短重复序列 or DNA的重复短序列 (Please note, the former expression is more commonly used). Example sentence(s):
