Description

This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) on the 24 Jan 2022 Homo sapiens/GCA_009914755.4_T2T-CHM13v2.0/GCA_009914755.4 genome assembly, located by Tandem Repeats Finder (TRF) which is specialized for this purpose. These repeats can occur within coding regions of genes and may be quite polymorphic. Repeat expansions are sometimes associated with specific diseases.

There are 1,155,353 items in the track covering 277,065,041 bases, assembly size 3,117,292,070 bases, percent coverage % 8.89.

Methods
