A tandem repeat is a sequence of two or more contiguous, approximate copies of a pattern. Tandem repeats occur in the genomes of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. They ar...
Background: Polymorphic tandem repeat typing is a new generic technology which has been proved to be very efficient for bacterial pathogens such as B. anthracis, M. tuberculosis, ...
Background: Biological sequence repeats arranged in tandem patterns are widespread in DNA and proteins. While many software tools have been designed to detect DNA tandem repeats (...
