This track displays simple tandem repeats (possibly imperfect repeats) on the 28 Sep 2018 Ixodes scapularis/GCF_002892825.2_ISE6_asm2.2_deduplicated/GCF_002892825.2 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 701,137 items in the track covering 84,659,020 bases, assembly size 2,081,329,876 bases, percent coverage % 4.07.For more information about the TRF program, see Benson (1999).
