Despite the large amount of accumulated data, the significance of the complex
repetitive DNA fraction in the eukaryotic genome restructuring and functioning is still not completely understood.

The kit builds on the success of Asuragen's AmplideX PCR/CE FMR1 and C9orf72 Kits1, enabling researchers to overcome the challenges of high homology sequences and reveal definitive genotypes from
repetitive DNA.
Identification of
repetitive DNA sequence specific to Mycobacterium paratuberculosis.
Distribution of
repetitive DNA sequences in eubacteria and application to fingerprinting of bacterial genomes.
Variability in the tandem
repetitive DNA sequence of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) genome and stability of VP28 gene to detect different isolates of WSSV from India.
Telomeres are long stretches of
repetitive DNA at the ends of chromosomes.
There are different areas that methylation occurs, including extensive areas of
repetitive DNA sequences, such as centromeres and Transposons (Wang, 2004) (which are involved in chromosome stability), non-coding regions (Varambally, 2008) (Enhancer regions, miRNA) and within genes (Guenther, 2007).
Section Two: Biological Information and Genetic Theory Wells presents evidence for the functionality of non -protein-coding DNA to refute the concept of "junk DNA." This includes pervasive transcription of the genome, conservation of many nonprotein-coding sequences, sequence-dependent functions of RNAs transcribed from introns, pseudogenes,
repetitive DNA, functions almost independent of the exact nucleotide sequence, chromatin topology in gene expression and centromere placement, and the light-focusing property of heterochromatin in inverted nuclei.
Telomeres are
repetitive DNA sequences that sit at the ends of chromosomes and serve a protective function to make sure cells do not lose valuable genetic information each time they divide.
Repetitive DNA elements in the Murrah BAC clone sequence were identified by RepeatMasker (http://www.repeatmasker.org/).
