This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) on the 10 Apr 2013 Dendroctonus ponderosae/GCF_000355655.1_DendPond_male_1.0/GCF_000355655.1 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 16,044 items in the track covering 3,140,910 bases, assembly size 252,847,629 bases, percent coverage % 1.24.For more information about the TRF program, see Benson (1999).
