This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect) located by Tandem Repeats Finder, which is specialized to this purpose. These repeats can occur within coding regions of genes and may be quite polymorphic. Repeat expansions are sometimes associated with specific diseases.
For more information about the Tandem Repeats Finder, see G. Benson, "Tandem repeats finder: a program to analyze DNA sequences", Nucleic Acids Research, 1999, 27(2) 573-580.
