This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) on the 01 Aug 2024 Saccoglossus sp. HW-2024a/GCA_040954595.1_ASM4095459v1/GCA_040954595.1 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 118,073 items in the track covering 42,651,640 bases, assembly size 322,493,648 bases, percent coverage % 13.23.For more information about the TRF program, see Benson (1999).
