Description

This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) on the 30 Jul 2024 Engystomops pustulosus/GCA_040894015.1_aEngPut4.paternal/GCA_040894015.1 genome assembly, 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.

There are 1,165,044 items in the track covering 432,735,726 bases, assembly size 2,081,032,022 bases, percent coverage % 20.79.

Methods

For more information about the TRF program, see Benson (1999).
