Optimal computation of all tandem repeats in a weighted sequence [PDF]
Algorithms for Molecular Biology, 2014 Tandem duplication, in the context of molecular biology, occurs as a result of mutational events in which an original segment of DNA is converted into a sequence of individual copies. More formally, a repetition or tandem repeat in a string of letters consists of exact concatenations of identical factors of the string.

RIPCAL: a tool for alignment-based analysis of repeat-induced point mutations in fungal genomic sequences [PDF]
, 2008 Background Repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a fungal-specific genome defence mechanism that alters the sequences of repetitive DNA, thereby inactivating coding genes.

Specific tandem repeats are sufficient for paramutation-induced trans-generational silencing. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 Paramutation is a well-studied epigenetic phenomenon in which trans communication between two different alleles leads to meiotically heritable transcriptional silencing of one of the alleles.

The challenge of small-scale repeats for indel discovery
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2015 Repetitive sequences are abundant in the human genome. Different classes of repetitive DNA sequences, including simple repeats, tandem repeats, segmental duplications, interspersed repeats and other elements, collectively span more than 50% of the genome.

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 ...
