A Visual Tool for Dna Repeats Localization
نویسنده
چکیده
The detection of tandem repeats is important in biology and medicine as it can be used for phylogenic studies and disease diagnosis. A major difficulty in identification of repeats arises from the fact that the repeat units can be either exact or imperfect, in tandem or dispersed, and of unspecified length. This paper presents results obtained by combining grey level spectrograms with a novel numerical representation to isolate position and length of tandem repeats (TRs) in DNA sequences.

Simple 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 ...

Background: The lengths of CAG repeats in two spinocerebellar ataxia genes, SCA1 and SCA3, were analyzed to determine whether such repeats exist in higher numbers in infertile males. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from healthy controls, oligozoospermia patients, and azoospermia patients. DNA fragments containing target CAG repeats were amplified by PCR with template DNA pur...
متن کاملThe effect of incorporating the quantitative analysis besides visual assessments of 18F-FDG brain PET images for the localization of epileptogenic zones
Introduction: FDG Brain PET is a valuable paraclinical tool for presurgical assessments of patients suffering from refractory epilepsy. By the widespread accessibility of PET, recognizing the functional lesions has become a current practical method especially in preoperative evaluations of the partial epilepsy disorders. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of quantit...
متن کاملGenotyping of Candida albicans isolated from animals using 25S ribosomal DNA and ALT repeats polymorphism in repetitive sequence
Background and Purpose: Candida albicans is the most prevalent Candida species isolated from animals. Candidiasis can be systemic in animals or may affect a single organ, such as the mouth, urinary tract, and skin. The aim of the present study was to determine the genetic diversity of C. albicans isolated from different animals and investigate the presence of a relationship between host specifi...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Analysis of Histidine Repeats Reveals Their Role in the Localization of Human Proteins to the Nuclear Speckles Compartment
Single amino acid repeats are prevalent in eukaryote organisms, although the role of many such sequences is still poorly understood. We have performed a comprehensive analysis of the proteins containing homopolymeric histidine tracts in the human genome and identified 86 human proteins that contain stretches of five or more histidines. Most of them are endowed with DNA- and RNA-related function...
