Repeated sequence (DNA)

Repeated sequence (DNA)

In the study of DNA sequences, one can distinguish two main types of repeated sequence:

In primates, the majority of LINEs are LINE-1 and the majority of SINEs are Alu's.

In prokaryotes, CRISPR are arrays of alternating repeats and spacers.

Other types of repeats

Note: The following are covered in detail in "Computing for Comparative Microbial Genomics".[1]

  • Direct repeats
    • Global direct repeat
    • Local direct simple repeats
    • Local direct repeats
    • Local direct repeats with spacer
  • Inverted repeats
    • Global inverted repeat
    • Local inverted repeat
    • Inverted repeat with spacer
    • Palindromic repeat
  • Mirror and everted repeats
