Tandem 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 کاملAssessing Diversity of DNA Structure-Related Sequence Features in Prokaryotic Genomes
Prokaryotic genomes are diverse in terms of their nucleotide and oligonucleotide composition as well as presence of various sequence features that can affect physical properties of the DNA molecule. We present a survey of local sequence patterns which have a potential to promote non-canonical DNA conformations (i.e. different from standard B-DNA double helix) and interpret the results in terms ...
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,...
متن کاملSignificant Deviations in the Configurations of Homologous Tandem Repeats in Prokaryotic Genomes
We explored the possibilities of whole-genome duplication (WGD) in prokaryotic species, where we performed statistical analyses of the configurations of the central angles between homologous tandem repeats (TRs) on the circular chromosomes. At first, we detected TRs on their chromosomes and identified equivalent tandem repeat pairs (ETRPs); here, an ETRP is defined as a pair of tandem repeats s...
متن کاملCRISPRFinder: a web tool to identify clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats
Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) constitute a particular family of tandem repeats found in a wide range of prokaryotic genomes (half of eubacteria and almost all archaea). They consist of a succession of highly conserved regions (DR) varying in size from 23 to 47 bp, separated by similarly sized unique sequences (spacer) of usually viral origin. A CRISPR clust...
متن کاملPSSRdb: a relational database of polymorphic simple sequence repeats extracted from prokaryotic genomes
PSSRdb (Polymorphic Simple Sequence Repeats database) (http://www.cdfd.org.in/PSSRdb/) is a relational database of polymorphic simple sequence repeats (PSSRs) extracted from 85 different species of prokaryotes. Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are the tandem repeats of nucleotide motifs of the sizes 1-6 bp and are highly polymorphic. SSR mutations in and around coding regions affect transcription...
