How do you identify repeat sequences?
There are two main approaches to detecting repeats in a sequence. The first consists of comparing a sequence with itself, and the second consists of searching for the repeated occurrence of small words (known as k-mers), and this can be extended to larger sequences.
Which test can identify repetitive elements in the chromosome?
A chromosomal microarray (CMA) is a molecular genetic test used to detect copy number variants (CNVs), i.e., deletions (loss) or duplications (gain) of chromosomal material.
What is VNTR used for?
VNTRs are an important source of RFLP genetic markers used in linkage analysis (mapping) of genomes. They have become essential in forensic crime investigations. The technique may use PCR, size determined by gel electrophoresis, and Southern blotting to produce a pattern of bands unique to each individual.
How do you identify transposons?
Transposon insertion sites are typically identified using targeted DNA-sequencing approaches, in which junction fragments containing transposon and flanking genomic sequences are selectively amplified and sequenced (5).
