Simple Repeats (simpleRepeat) Track Description
 

Description

This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) located by Tandem Repeats Finder (TRF) which is specialized for this purpose. These repeats can occur within coding regions of genes and may be quite polymorphic. Repeat expansions are sometimes associated with specific diseases.

Methods

For more information about the TRF program, see Benson (1999).
