• Inverted repeat — An inverted repeat (or IR) is a sequence of nucleotides that is the reversed complement of another sequence further downstream. For example, 5 GACTGC....GCAGTC 3 . When no nucleotides intervene between the sequence and its downstream complement,… …   Wikipedia

• inverted repeat — Two sequences of nucleotides occurring in one strand, where, relative to the first sequence, the second has complementary bases but in the inverted order. Under appropriate conditions this allows formation of a hairpin loop in the single strand.… …   Glossary of Biotechnology

• inverted repeat — A sequence of nucleotides that is repeated nearly without change except in the opposite direction, usually at some point distant from the original sequence; often associated with gene insertion …   Medical dictionary

• Repeated sequence (DNA) — In the study of DNA sequences, one can distinguish two main types of repeated sequence: Tandem repeats: Satellite DNA Minisatellite Microsatellite Interspersed repeats: SINEs (Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements) LINEs (Long Interspersed Nuclear… …   Wikipedia

• Direct repeat — Direct repeats are a type of genetic sequence that consists of two or more repeats of a specific sequence.[1] Direct repeats are nucleotide sequences present in multiple copies in the genome. There are several types of repeated sequences.… …   Wikipedia

• Insertion sequence — An insertion sequence (also known as an IS, an insertion sequence element, or an IS element) is a short DNA sequence that acts as a simple transposable element. Insertion sequences have two major characteristics: they are small relative to other… …   Wikipedia

• Variable number tandem repeat — A Variable Number Tandem Repeats (or VNTR) is a location in a genome where a short nucleotide sequence is organized as a tandem repeat. These can be found on many chromosomes, and often show variations in length between individuals. Each variant… …   Wikipedia

• fold-back — The structure of a double stranded DNA molecule formed when a molecule containing an inverted repeat sequence is denatured and then allowed to re anneal at low DNA concentrations. Under these conditions, the repeated sequence self anneals to form …   Glossary of Biotechnology
