Direct repeat

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

 - Direct repeats are a type of genetic sequence that consists of two or more repeats of a specific sequence. In other words, the direct repeats are nucleotide sequences present in multiple copies in the genome. Generally, a direct repeat occurs when a sequence is repeated with the same pattern downstream. There is no inversion and no reverse complement associated with a direct repeat. It may or may not have intervening nucleotides. The nucleotide sequence written in bold characters signifies the repeated sequence. 5´ TTACGnnnnnnTTACG 3´3´ AATGCnnnnnnAATGC 5´ [[Category:Uncategorized
