MeSH Heading: Terminal Repeat Sequences
Tree Number(s): G02.111.570.080.708.850; G05.360.080.708.850
Unique ID: D020079
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020079
Scope Note: Nucleotide sequences repeated on both the 5' and 3' ends of a sequence under consideration. For example, the hallmarks of a transposon are that it is flanked by inverted repeats on each end and the inverted repeats are flanked by direct repeats. The Delta element of Ty retrotransposons and LTRs (long terminal repeats) are examples of this concept.
