NTRFinder: a software tool to find nested tandem repeats
We introduce the software tool NTRFinder to search for a complex repetitive structure in DNA we call a nested tandem repeat (NTR). An NTR is a recurrence of two or more distinct tandem motifs interspersed with each other. We propose that NTRs can be used as phylogenetic and population markers. We have tested our algorithm on both real and simulated data, and present some real NTRs of interest. ...
متن کاملC OMPUTATION AND A NALYSIS A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements
Biological sequences have long been known to contain many classes of repeats. The most studied repetitive structure is the tandem repeat where many approximate copies of a common segment (the motif ) appear consecutively. In this thesis, a complex repetitive structure is investigated. This repetitive structure is called a nested tandem repeat. It consists of many approximate copies of two motif...
متن کاملAn Algorithm to Solve the Motif Alignment Problem for Approximate Nested Tandem Repeats
An approximate nested tandem repeat (NTR) in a string T is a complex repetitive structure consisting of many approximate copies of two substrings x and X ("motifs") interspersed with one another. NTRs fall into a class of repetitive structures broadly known as subrepeats. NTRs have been found in real DNA sequences and are expected to be important in evolutionary biology, both in understanding e...
متن کاملSimple Sequence Repeats Amplification: a Tool to Survey the Genetic Background of Olive Oils
A reliable DNA extraction method for use on extra virgin olive oil based on a commercial kit was defined, and the possibility of using this DNA for fingerprinting the original cultivar was demonstrated. The genetic traceability of single-cultivar virgin olive oil from two cultivars (Carolea and Frantoio) was achieved by identifying the varieties from which they were produced. This involved the ...
متن کاملAlgorithm to find distant repeats in a single protein sequence
Distant repeats in protein sequence play an important role in various aspects of protein analysis. A keen analysis of the distant repeats would enable to establish a firm relation of the repeats with respect to their function and three-dimensional structure during the evolutionary process. Further, it enlightens the diversity of duplication during the evolution. To this end, an algorithm has be...
