Short-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 کاملTandem Repeats in 44 Prokaryotic Genomes and Genome Evolution
Genomes are full of various types of repetitive sequences, such as microsatelite, minisatelite, interspersed repeats, tandem repeats, and so on. These repetitive sequences are replete with information that would bring about a better understanding of not only genome evolution but also gene evolution. A tandem repeat (TR) is a DNA sequence piece containing two or more consecutive homologous eleme...
متن کاملAnalysis of Tandem Repeats Detected in Prokaryotic Genomes
Genomes contain many perfect and approximate tandem repeats (TRs) which are two or more adjacent similar DNA sequences of a certain length and are products of tandem duplication. Duplication generally requires small non-duplicated repeats as primers [1]. Present techniques for finding TRs are divided into fully automated techniques such as the Tandem Repeats Finder (TRF) [2], TROLL and Sputnik,...
