This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) on the 07 Apr 2016 Plasmodium falciparum 3D7/GCF_000002765.6_GCA_000002765/GCF_000002765.6 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 78,057 items in the track covering 3,612,460 bases, assembly size 23,292,622 bases, percent coverage % 15.51.For more information about the TRF program, see Benson (1999).
