A strong structural correlation between short inverted repeat sequences and the polyadenylation signal in yeast and nucleosome exclusion by these inverted repeats. [PDF]
Curr Genet, 2019 DNA sequences that read the same from 5′ to 3′ in either strand are called inverted repeat sequences or simply IRs. They are found throughout a wide variety of genomes, from prokaryotes to eukaryotes.

Inverted and mirror repeats in model nucleotide sequences [PDF]
, 2007 We analytically and numerically study the probabilistic properties of inverted and mirror repeats in model sequences of nucleic acids. We consider both perfect and non-perfect repeats, i.e. repeats with mismatches and gaps. The considered sequence models are independent identically distributed (i.i.d.) sequences, Markov processes and long range ...

The distribution of inverted repeat sequences in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome. [PDF]
Curr Genet, 2010 Although a variety of possible functions have been proposed for inverted repeat sequences (IRs), it is not known which of them might occur in vivo. We investigate this question by assessing the distributions and properties of IRs in the Saccharomyces ...

Evidence for active maintenance of inverted repeat structures identified by a comparative genomic approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Inverted repeats have been found to occur in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Usually they are short and some have important functions in various biological processes.

Genome plasticity in Candida albicans is driven by long repeat sequences
eLife, 2019 Genome rearrangements resulting in copy number variation (CNV) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) are frequently observed during the somatic evolution of cancer and promote rapid adaptation of fungi to novel environments.

Transduplication resulted in the incorporation of two protein-coding sequences into the Turmoil-1 transposable element of C. elegans [PDF]
Biology Direct 2008, 3:41, 2008 Transposable elements may acquire unrelated gene fragments into their sequences in a process called transduplication. Transduplication of protein-coding genes is common in plants, but is unknown of in animals. Here, we report that the Turmoil-1 transposable element in C.

Genome-Wide Tool for Sensitive de novo Identification and Visualisation of Interspersed and Tandem Repeats [PDF]
Bioinformatics and Biology InsightsGenomic repeats are functionally ubiquitous structural units found in all genomes. Studying these repeats of different origins is essential for understanding the evolution and adaptation of a given organism.

Integration of promoters, inverted repeat sequences and proteomic data into a model for high silencing efficiency of coeliac disease related gliadins in bread wheat [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2013 BackgroundWheat gluten has unique nutritional and technological characteristics, but is also a major trigger of allergies and intolerances. One of the most severe diseases caused by gluten is coeliac disease.

Formation of Large Palindromic DNA by Homologous Recombination of Short Inverted Repeat Sequences in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Genetics, 2002 Large DNA palindromes form sporadically in many eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes and are often associated with amplified genes. The presence of a short inverted repeat sequence near a DNA double-strand break has been implicated in the formation of ...
