Locating tandem repeats in weighted sequences in proteins [PDF]
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.

Tandem repeats over the edit distance [PDF]
AbstractMotivation: A tandem repeat in DNA is a sequence of two or more contiguous, approximate copies of a pattern of nucleotides. Tandem repeats occur in the genomes of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. They are important in numerous fields including disease diagnosis, mapping studies, human identity testing (DNA fingerprinting), sequence ...

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.

Mutation of human short tandem repeats [PDF]
A total of 20,000 parent-offspring transfers of alleles were examined through the genotyping within 40 CEPH reference families of 28 short tandem repeat polymorphisms (STRPs) located on chromosome 19. Forty-seven initial mutation events were detected in the STRPs using DNA from transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines, but less than half (39%) could be ...

Unexpected Properties of Short Genomic Tandem Repeats
Length polymorphisms in genomic short tandem repeats have been implicated in a variety of diseases, most notably human neurodegenerative disorders. Expansions of tandem repeats are also associated with genomic instability in cancer. Our previous study of

Computational discovery and modelling of tandem domain repeats in proteins
Domains are functional and evolutionary units of proteins that typically fold into stable globular structures. A small subset of natural multidomain proteins contain large arrays of nearly identical domains repeated in tandem, challenging some of our ...

DNA repeats constitute a large part of genomes of multicellular eucaryotes. For a longtime considered as junk DNA, their role in genome organization and tuning of gene expression is being increasingly documented.

Number of tandem repeats among A. marginale strains.
The total number of strains classified in our study were organized by the number of MSP1a tandem repeats. The percent of A. marginale strains (external numbers) containing different number of tandem repeats (internal numbers) is shown.

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 ...

Evaluation of MUC6 mucin tandem repeats
The MUC6 mucin was originally isolated from stomach mucus and is one of the major secreted mucins of the digestive tract. A full-length cDNA has not been isolated for this large molecule (greater than 15 kb) and it remains poorly studied. To circumvent the lack of reagents for investigating MUC6, we isolated a cDNA clone from a human fetal pancreatic ...
