Description
This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) 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.
Methods
For more information about the TRF program, see Benson (1999).
