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).
Credits
TRF was written by Gary Benson.
