Biological Roles of Protein-Coding Tandem Repeats in the Yeast Candida Albicans

Biological Roles of Protein-Coding Tandem Repeats in the Yeast Candida Albicans

Tandem repeat (TR) DNA mutates faster than other DNA by insertion and deletion of repeats. Large parts of eukaryotic proteomes are encoded by ORFs containing protein-coding TRs (TR-ORFs, pcTRs) with largely unknown biological consequences. We explored these in the yeast Candida albicans, an opportun...
