Statistical approaches to detecting and analyzing tandem repeats in genomic sequences
Tandem repeats (TRs) are frequently observed in genomes across all domains of life. Evidence suggests that some TRs are crucial for proteins with fundamental biological functions, and can be associated with virulence, resistance and infectious/ neurodegenerative diseases. Genome-scale systematic stu...
