Description
This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) on
the 06 Jun 2014 Pygoscelis adeliae/GCF_000699105.1_ASM69910v1/GCF_000699105.1 genome assembly,
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.
There are 126,490 items in the track covering 8,566,147 bases,
assembly size 1,216,617,519 bases, percent coverage % 0.70.
Methods
For more information about the TRF program, see Benson (1999).
Credits
TRF was written by
Gary Benson.
