JSTRING: A Novel Java Tandem Repeats Searcher in Genomic Sequences with an Interactive Graphic Output
نویسندگان
چکیده
The search of Tandem Repeats in a genomic sequence is of growing interest but unfortunately the existing tools have the drawback of producing cumbersome results that require a painstaking interpretation. In order to help users interpret the results at first glance, we implemented JSTRING that shows the results also in a very clear graphic format, thus allowing their immediate survey. The software is freely available at: http://bioinf.dms.med.uniroma1.it/JSTRING/.

HomologMiner: looking for homologous genomic groups in whole genomes
MOTIVATION Complex genomes contain numerous repeated sequences, and genomic duplication is believed to be a main evolutionary mechanism to obtain new functions. Several tools are available for de novo repeat sequence identification, and many approaches exist for clustering homologous protein sequences. We present an efficient new approach to identify and cluster homologous DNA sequences with hi...
متن کاملCloning of the Gene Encoding M2e of Influenza Virus in B. subtilis
Background and Aims: The ectodomain of matrix protein of influenza virus is a weak immunogen that is highly conserved among all subtypes of influenza A virus. Tandem repeats of these genes along with linker were used to enhance immunogenicity of M2e protein and so it can be served as a universal vaccine in both humans and livestock. Materials and Methods: In this study, the sequences of extra-d...
متن کاملRSMD-repeat searcher and motif detector
The functionality of a gene or a protein depends on codon repeats occurring in it. As a consequence of their vitality in protein function and apparent involvement in causing diseases, an interest in these repeats has developed in recent years. The analysis of genomic and proteomic sequences to identify such repeats requires some algorithmic support from informatics level. Here, we proposed an o...
متن کاملFiltering Tandem Repeats in DNA Sequences
A tandem repeat is a sequence of two or more contiguous, approximate copies of a pattern. Tandem repeats occur in the genomes of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. They are important in numerous fields including disease diagnosis, mapping studies, human identity testing (DNA fingerprinting), sequence homology, and population studies. Although tandem repeats have been used by biologists ...
متن کاملThe changing tails of a novel short interspersed element in Aedes aegypti: genomic evidence for slippage retrotransposition and the relationship between 3' tandem repeats and the poly(dA) tail.
A novel family of tRNA-related SINEs named gecko was discovered in the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti. Approximately 7200 copies of gecko were distributed in the A. aegypti genome with a significant bias toward A + T-rich regions. The 3' end of gecko is similar in sequence and identical in secondary structure to the 3' end of MosquI, a non-LTR retrotransposon in A. aegypti. Nine conserved...
