Annotation
coordinate with DNA, RNA, or specifics
Scope Note
Sequences of
DNA
or
RNA
that occur in multiple copies. There are several types:
INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES
are copies of transposable elements (
DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS
or
RETROELEMENTS
) dispersed throughout the genome.
TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES
flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on
RETROVIRUSES
. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction.
TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES
are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (
INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES
).
