Repeatome

Index Repeatome

The repeatome can be defined as the complement of repeated sequences in a genome. [1]

Endogenous viral element

An endogenous viral element (EVE) is a DNA sequence derived from a virus, and present within the germline of a non-viral organism.

See Repeatome and Endogenous viral element

Junk DNA

Junk DNA (non-functional DNA) is a controversial term referring to types of Non-Coding DNA that is considered obsolete by many scientists. Repeatome and Junk DNA are DNA.

See Repeatome and Junk DNA

Microsatellite

A microsatellite is a tract of repetitive DNA in which certain DNA motifs (ranging in length from one to six or more base pairs) are repeated, typically 5–50 times.

See Repeatome and Microsatellite

Non-coding DNA

Non-coding DNA (ncDNA) sequences are components of an organism's DNA that do not encode protein sequences. Repeatome and non-coding DNA are DNA.

See Repeatome and Non-coding DNA

Transposable element

A transposable element (TE, transposon, or jumping gene) is a nucleic acid sequence in DNA that can change its position within a genome, sometimes creating or reversing mutations and altering the cell's genetic identity and genome size.

See Repeatome and Transposable element
