DNA repeat sequences: diversity and versatility of functions.

Current genetics - 1 Jun 2017

Qian Zhong, Adhya Sankar

Abstract excerpt

Although discovered decades ago, the molecular identification, the diversity and versatility of functions, and the evolutionary origin of repeat DNA sequences (REPs) containing palindromic units in prokaryotes are now bringing attention to a wide range of biological scientists. A brief account of the current state of the repeat DNA sequences is presented here.
