Discrepancy variation of dinucleotide microsatellite repeats in eukaryotic genomes.
To address whether there are differences of variation among repeat motif types and among taxonomic groups, we present here an analysis of variation and correlation of dinucleotide microsatellite repeats in eukaryotic genomes. Ten taxonomic groups were compared, those being primates, mammalia (excluding primates and rodentia), rodentia, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles, insects, molluscs, pl...
متن کاملComputational 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 کاملFunctional Mechanisms of Microsatellite DNA in Eukaryotic Genomes
Microsatellite repeat DNA is best known for its length mutability, which is implicated in several neurological diseases and cancers, and often exploited as a genetic marker. Less well-known is the body of work exploring the widespread and surprisingly diverse functional roles of microsatellites. Recently, emerging evidence includes the finding that normal microsatellite polymorphism contributes...
متن کاملSNPmasker: automatic masking of SNPs and repeats across eukaryotic genomes
SNPmasker is a comprehensive web interface for masking large eukaryotic genomes. The program is designed to mask SNPs from recent dbSNP database and to mask the repeats with two alternative programs. In addition to the SNP masking, we also offer population-specific substitution of SNP alleles in genomic sequence according to SNP frequencies in HapMap Phase II data. The input to SNPmasker can be...
متن کاملMICdb3.0: a comprehensive resource of microsatellite repeats from prokaryotic genomes
The MICdb is a comprehensive relational database of perfect microsatellites extracted from completely sequenced and annotated genomes of bacteria and archaea. The current version MICdb3.0 is an updated and revised version of MICdb2.0. As compared with the previous version MICdb2.0, the current release is significantly improved in terms of much larger coverage of genomes, improved presentation o...
