Expansions of simple tandem repeats are responsible for almost 50 human diseases, the
majority of which are severe, degenerative, and not currently treatable or preventable. In this …

Repetitive DNA motifs are abundant in the genomes of various species and have the
capacity to adopt non-canonical (ie, non-B) DNA structures. Several non-B DNA structures …

Short-sequence DNA repeat (SSR) loci can be identified in all eukaryotic and many
prokaryotic genomes. These loci harbor short or long stretches of repeated nucleotide …

Accurate and complete replication of the genome in every cell division is a prerequisite of
genomic stability. Thus, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic replication forks are extremely …

Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive units (MIRUs) are 40–100 bp DNA elements often
found as tandem repeats and dispersed in intergenic regions of the Mycobacterium …

Microsatellite enrichment is an excess of repetitive sequences characteristic to all studied
eukaryotes. It is thought to result from the accumulated effects of replication slippage …

The type and frequency of simple sequence repeats (SSRs) in plant genomes was
investigated using the expanding quantity of DNA sequence data deposited in public …

DNA inverted repeats (IRs) are hotspots of genomic instability in both prokaryotes and
eukaryotes. This feature is commonly attributed to their ability to fold into hairpin-or cruciform …

Alteration of mRNA sequence through base modification mRNA editing frequently generates
protein diversity. Several proteins have been identified as being similar to C-to-U mRNA …

Abstract (CGG) n (CCG) n and (CTG) n (CAG) n repeats of varying length were cloned into a
bacterial plasmid, and the progression of the replication fork through these repeats was …
