“Where this postulate holds true, the fractional base compositions (FBC, the proportion of the number of A, C, G, or T relative to the total number of bases in the SSR) for a base in SSM-mediated SSR length variants are necessarily nearly identical and essentially independent of the total length of the SSR, given the SSR > RU length.”
