Furthermore, these sequences have undergone sequence divergence by the addition or deletion of sequences or by changes in the base pair sequence.
An example of a highly repetitive sequence is the repeat found to be associated with the knob heterochromatin of corn.

 Extragenic repeated DNA sequences and transposable elements
Repeated DNA of this type is not transcribed and accounts for the bulk of the heterochromatic regions of the genome, being notably found in the vicinity of the centromeres (pericentromeric heterochromatin).
Rare examples are known of human DNA sequences which appear to have been copied by a DNA-mediated transposition event (transposons) and a variety of sequences have been found in the human genome which resemble known DNA transposons such as the mariner transposon and others (Smit and Riggs, 1996).
The typical Alu sequence is a tandemly repeated dimer, with the repeats sharing an approximately 120 bp sequence followed by a short sequence which is rich in A residues on one strand and T residues on the complementary strand.

Microsatellites are repetitive sequences of mostly 2 to 4 nucleotides with a widespread occurrence particularly in multicellular organisms.
A repeated sequence of 220 bp in length was found to be a hot spot for point mutations, deletions, and insertions.
The loss of AGG causes an increased uninterrupted length of CGG sequences and is therefore probably an important mutational event for the predisposition to fragile X. The mechanism of expansion of the trinucleotide sequence presumably rests on slippage during DNA replication.

 Eukaryotic chromosome fine structure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Repeated sequences are of two basic types: unique sequences that are repeated in one area; and repeated sequences that are interspersed throughout the genome.
Interspersed sequences are tandem repeats, with sequences that are found interspersed across the genome.
Retrotransposons are sequences in the DNA that are the result of retrotransposition of RNA.

Repeated foreshock sequences in the thrust faulting environment of eastern Taiwan
Foreshock sequences have repeatedly been observed in the thrust faulting system of the Chengkung area in eastern Taiwan.
Repeated foreshock sequences in this reverse-faulting environment are primarily associated with a higher degree of small-scale heterogeneity in the crust and might very well be considered as potential predictors of large earthquakes in the future.

 Single Strand Annealing Induced by DNA Double Strand Break
Single stranded regions are created adjacent to the break that extend to the repeated sequences such that the complementary strands can anneal to each other.
Subsequently these deletion events were characterized and it was observed that as repeated sequences were moved farther apart, deletions occurred less frequently and arose at a later times.
To do this, we have introduced mismatches between the repeated sequences such that the mismatch repair proteins will repair the heteroduplex to one or the other sequence.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Browsing repeats in genomes: Pygram and an application to non-coding region analysis
By proposing a new visualization environment to analyse repeated sequences, this application aims to increase the efficiency of laboratories involved in investigating repeat organization in single genomes or across several genomes.
Revealing the structure of sequences as an assembly of elementary repeated sequences is thus a task of utmost importance.
Their remarkably constant structure consists of short sequences from 21 to 37 nucleotides long, repeated almost exactly, and referred to as 'units', separated by similarly sized non-repetitive sequences, called 'spacers' (Figure 2D).

Landau and Schmidt [4] studied the problem of finding the two consecutive copies in a sequence of length n such that the edit distance (a match costs 0 and a mismatch/indel costs 1) between the two copies is at most k.
Note that, the normalization of the edit distance is important for finding repeated patterns since otherwise, one can give a partition in which each pattern has one letter and the edit distance is at most 1 (small).
The sequence of the LbH domain of members of the LpxA family consists of the imperfect tandem repetition of hexapeptide units [9-11].

All groups were faster initiating single nose pokes than five nose poke sequences and sequences that were unpracticed (random) than those that were well practiced (repeat).
Results are plotted separately for the first (A) and last (B) nose pokes in the sequence to show the increase in RT to initiate and decrease in RT to complete repeated sequences.
Results are reported for the transition from the fifth session with sequence A to the second random session (A5/R2), the 10th session with sequence A to the third random session (A10/R3), the fifth session with sequence B to the fourth random session (B5/R4), and the average of these three transitions.

 Matching Diagrams: Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Informal experimentation suggests the best way to go is to break a sequence of repetition into the smallest possible units, so the diagram for this sequence would look like the picture below, with the sequence parsed as "10" repeated 8 times.
To make a diagram for a complex sequence, we overlay all the appropriate arcs, but with a degree of translucency so no match is completely obscured.
Of course, this is not the first attempt to visualize sequences; I've written a quick summary of some other methods.
