mreps -- efficient and flexible detection of tandem repeats in DNA
What you can do:
Identify serial repeats (tandem repeats) in DNA sequences.
Highlights:
- Tandemly repeated DNA appears in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic genomes, it is associated with various regulatory mechanisms and plays an important role in genomic fingerprinting.
- mreps is a powerful software tool for a fast identification of tandemly repeated structures in DNA sequences.
- mreps is able to identify all types of tandem repeats within a single run on a whole genomic sequence.
- It has a resolution parameter that allows the program to identify 'fuzzy' repeats.
