Computational Identification and Characterization of Repeats in Sequenced Eukaryotic Genomes
Repetitive sequences or repeats are often called “junk DNA”, for they do not seem to provide any sequence specific function in the genome in general. These sequences are ubiquitous and abundant in all species examined to date. It is generally believed that repeats have profound impact on genome evolution and genome organization. The recent availability of whole genome sequences has opened a new...

متن کاملShort-sequence DNA repeats in prokaryotic genomes.
Short-sequence DNA repeat (SSR) loci can be identified in all eukaryotic and many prokaryotic genomes. These loci harbor short or long stretches of repeated nucleotide sequence motifs. DNA sequence motifs in a single locus can be identical and/or heterogeneous. SSRs are encountered in many different branches of the prokaryote kingdom. They are found in genes encoding products as diverse as micr...
متن کاملSimple sequence repeats in prokaryotic genomes.
Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in DNA sequences are composed of tandem iterations of short oligonucleotides and may have functional and/or structural properties that distinguish them from general DNA sequences. They are variable in length because of slip-strand mutations and may also affect local structure of the DNA molecule or the encoded proteins. Long SSRs (LSSRs) are common in eukaryotes b...
متن کاملGenome update: Length distributions of sequenced prokaryotic genomes.
Genomes of the month This month, four genomes from two different species will be discussed. The first organism, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, is a metabolic ‘fox’, in that it can do many different things. R. palustris is one of the most metabolically versatile bacteria known – it can grow utilizing any one of the four modes of metabolism that support life. In contrast, the three different Prochlo...
