Diversity in coding tandem repeats in related
BMC Microbiology, 2003 Background Tandem repeats contained within coding regions can mediate phase variation when the repeated units change the reading frame of the coding sequence in a copy number dependent manner.

Evolutionary Study of Protein Short Tandem Repeats in Protein Families
Biomolecules, 2023 Tandem repeats in proteins are patterns of residues repeated directly adjacent to each other. The evolution of these repeats can be assessed by using groups of homologous sequences, which can help pointing to events of unit duplication or deletion.

An Algorithm for Approximate Tandem Repeats
Journal of Computational Biology, 2001 A perfect single tandem repeat is defined as a nonempty string that can be divided into two identical substrings, e.g., abcabc. An approximate single tandem repeat is one in which the substrings are similar, but not identical, e.g., abcdaacd. In this paper we consider two criterions of similarity: the Hamming distance (k mismatches) and the edit ...

, 2013 Tandem repeats constitute a consistent fraction of eukaryotic genomes and are given by monomers or gene clusters repeated in a head-to-tail direction. Main examples are represented by microsatellites, minisatellites, satellites, rDNA genes, and protein-coding genes.

Native functions of short tandem repeats
eLife, 2023 Over a third of the human genome is comprised of repetitive sequences, including more than a million short tandem repeats (STRs). While studies of the pathologic consequences of repeat expansions that cause syndromic human diseases are extensive, the ...

Database of exact tandem repeats in the Zebrafish genome
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Sequencing of the approximately 1.7 billion bases of the zebrafish genome is currently underway. To date, few high resolution genetic maps exist for the zebrafish genome, based mainly on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and short ...

, 2007 Tandemly repeated sequences are ubiquitous components of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes. Renowned examples of tandem repeats (TR) include micro-satellites, mini-satellites, or satellite DNA, as well as tandemly repeated genes. The evolutionary event that giveq rise to tandem repeats, tandem duplication, is major force that drives the formation

TRDB--The Tandem Repeats Database [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2007 Tandem repeats in DNA have been under intensive study for many years, first, as a consequence of their usefulness as genomic markers and DNA fingerprints and more recently as their role in human disease and regulatory processes has become apparent. The Tandem Repeats Database (TRDB) is a public repository of information on tandem repeats in genomic DNA.

Assessing the role of tandem repeats in shaping the genomic architecture of great apes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Ancestral reconstructions of mammalian genomes have revealed that evolutionary breakpoint regions are clustered in regions that are more prone to break and reorganize.
