The challenge of small-scale repeats for indel discovery
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.

Draft Genome Sequences of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica Serovar Dublin Strains from St. Nectaire and Morbier Cheeses Characterized by Multilocus Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis Profiles Associated with Two Fatal Outbreaks in France [PDF]
We report here the draft genome sequences of 2 Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Dublin strains from St. Nectaire and Morbier cheeses having multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA) profiles identified during the fatal outbreaks

Optimal computation of all tandem repeats in a weighted sequence [PDF]
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.

Sequencing technologies and tools for short tandem repeat variation detection [PDF]
Short tandem repeats are highly polymorphic and associated with a wide range of phenotypic variation, some of which cause neurodegenerative disease in humans. With advances in high-throughput sequencing technologies, there are novel opportunities to study genetic variation.

Background Many proteins with tandem repeats in their sequence have been described and classified according to the length of the repeats: I) Repeats of short oligopeptides (from 2 to 20 amino acids), including structural cell wall proteins and ...

FISH mapping and molecular organization of the major repetitive sequences of tomato [PDF]
This paper presents a bird's-eye view of the major repeats and chromatin types of tomato. Using fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) with Cot-1, Cot-10 and Cot-100 DNA as probes we mapped repetitive sequences of different complexity on pachytene ...

LEPStr: A database for Mycobacterium leprae short tandem repeats
Short tandem repeats are short arrays of nucleotide sequences, and they have vital roles in many biological processes, including modulation of transcription, enhancement of gene expression, adaptation to a particular environment, and link to autosomal ...

Repetitive Elements in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Transcriptional Regulation. [PDF]
Transcriptional regulation, a multiple-step process, is still poorly understood in the important pig pathogen Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Basic motifs like promoters and terminators have already been described, but no other cis-regulatory elements have ...

Detection and diversity of a putative novel heterogeneous polymorphic proline-glycine repeat (Pgr) protein in the footrot pathogen Dichelobacter nodosus [PDF]
Dichelobacter nodosus, a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, is the essential causative agent of footrot in sheep. Currently, depending on the clinical presentation in the field, footrot is described as benign or virulent; D.
