Repetitive DNA sequences are abundant in a broad range of species, from bacteria to
mammals, and they cover nearly half of the human genome. Repeats have always …

RepeatExplorer2 is a novel version of a computational pipeline that uses graph-based
clustering of next-generation sequencing reads for characterization of repetitive DNA in …

Repetitive DNA—sequence motifs repeated hundreds or thousands of times in the genome—
makes up the major proportion of all the nuclear DNA in most eukaryotic genomes …

Motivation: Repetitive DNA makes up large portions of plant and animal nuclear genomes,
yet it remains the least-characterized genome component in most species studied so far …

Chromosomes or other long DNA sequences contain many highly similar repeated sub-
sequences. While there are efficient methods for detecting strict repeats or detecting already …

The widespread occurrence of repetitive stretches of DNA in genomes of organisms across
the tree of life imposes fundamental challenges for sequencing, genome assembly, and …

Motivation: De novo repeat family identification is a challenging algorithmic problem of great
practical importance. As the number of genome sequencing projects increases, there is a …

Motivation: A tandem repeat in DNA is a sequence of two or more contiguous, approximate
copies of a pattern of nucleotides. Tandem repeats occur in the genomes of both eukaryotic …

The repetitive structure of genomic DNA holds many secrets to be discovered. A systematic
study of repetitive DNA on a genomic or inter-genomic scale requires extensive algorithmic …

Motivation: Resolving tandemly repeated genomic sequences is a necessary step in
improving our understanding of the human genome. Short tandem repeats (TRs), or …
