TRDB—The Tandem Repeats Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. It contains a variety of tools for repeat analysis, including the Tandem Repeats Finder program, query and filtering capabilities, repeat clustering, polymorphism prediction, PCR primer selection, data visualization and data download in a variety of formats. In addition, TRDB serves as a centralized research workbench. It provides user storage space and permits collaborators to privately share their data and analysis. TRDB is available at https://tandem.bu.edu/cgi-bin/trdb/trdb.exe.

TRbase: a database relating tandem repeats to disease genes for the human genome
MOTIVATION Tandem repeats are associated with disease genes, play an important role in evolution and are important in genomic organization and function. Although much research has been done on short perfect patterns of repeats, there has been less focus on imperfect repeats. Thus, there is an acute need for a tandem repeats database that provides reliable and up to date information on both perf...

TRedD—A database for tandem repeats over the edit distance
A 'tandem repeat' in DNA is a sequence of two or more contiguous, approximate copies of a pattern of nucleotides. Tandem repeats are common in the genomes of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. They are significant markers for human identity testing, disease diagnosis, sequence homology and population studies. In this article, we describe a new database, TRedD, which contains the tandem ...

Background & Aims: Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, continues to infect human hosts even in those populations where infants and children are routinely vaccinated. Causes of pertussis epidemiology are not fully identified unless strains of the pathogen are characterized by molecular means. Golbally, Multi Locus Variable Number of Tandem Repeats analysis (MLVA) has pro...
