Assembly and Characterization of the Mitochondrial Genome of Fallopia aubertii (L. Henry) Holub

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: Fallopia aubertii (L. Henry) Holub is a perennial semi-shrub with both ornamental and medicinal value. The mitochondrial genomes of plants contain valuable genetic traits that can be utilized for the exploitation of genetic resources.

Search for Highly Divergent Tandem Repeats in Amino Acid Sequences [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
We report a Method to Search for Highly Divergent Tandem Repeats (MSHDTR) in protein sequences which considers pairwise correlations between adjacent residues. MSHDTR was compared with some previously developed methods for searching for tandem repeats (TRs) in amino acid sequences, such as T-REKS and XSTREAM, which focus on the identification of TRs ...

Short Tandem Repeat-Enriched Architectural RNAs in Nuclear Bodies: Functions and Associated Diseases

Non-Coding RNA, 2020
Nuclear bodies are membraneless, phase-separated compartments that concentrate specific proteins and RNAs in the nucleus. They are believed to serve as sites for the modification, sequestration, and storage of specific factors, and to act as ...

Locating tandem repeats in weighted sequences in proteins [PDF]

BMC Bioinformatics, 2013
Abstract A weighted biological sequence is a string in which a set of characters may appear at each position with respective probabilities of occurrence. We attempt to locate all the tandem repeats in a weighted sequence. A repeated substring is called a tandem repeat if each occurrence of the substring is directly adjacent to each other.

The Singular Evolution of Olea Genome Structure

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The current view of plant genome evolution proposes that genome size has mainly been determined by polyploidisation and amplification/loss of transposons, with a minor role played by other repeated sequences, such as tandem repeats.

Immune activation by a multigene family of lectins with variable tandem repeats in oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) [PDF]

Open Biology, 2020
Genomic regions with repeated sequences are unstable and prone to rapid DNA diversification. However, the role of tandem repeats within the coding region is not fully characterized.

Human tandem repeat sequences in forensic DNA typing [PDF]

Legal Medicine, 2005
It has been 20 years since the first development of DNA fingerprinting and the start of forensic DNA typing. Ever since, human tandem repeat DNA sequences have been the main targets for forensic DNA analysis. These repeat sequences are classified into minisatellites (or VNTRs) and microsatellites (or STRs).

Repeat or not repeat?—Statistical validation of tandem repeat prediction in genomic sequences [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 2012
Tandem repeats (TRs) represent one of the most prevalent features of genomic sequences. Due to their abundance and functional significance, a plethora of detection tools has been devised over the last two decades. Despite the longstanding interest, TR detection is still not resolved. Our large-scale tests reveal that current detectors produce different,

Linked-read sequencing for detecting short tandem repeat expansions

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractDetection of short tandem repeat (STR) expansions with standard short-read sequencing is challenging due to the difficulty in mapping multicopy repeat sequences. In this study, we explored how the long-range sequence information of barcode linked-read sequencing (BLRS) can be leveraged to improve repeat-read detection.

Genome-wide survey of tandem repeats by nanopore sequencing shows that disease-associated repeats are more polymorphic in the general population

BMC Medical Genomics, 2021
Background Tandem repeats are highly mutable and contribute to the development of human disease by a variety of mechanisms. It is difficult to predict which tandem repeats may cause a disease.
