  2. Direct repeat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_repeat

    Direct repeats are a type of genetic sequence that consists of two or more repeats of a specific sequence. [1] In other words, the direct repeats are nucleotide sequences present in multiple copies in the genome. Generally, a direct repeat occurs when a sequence is repeated with the same pattern downstream. [1]

  3. Repeated sequence (DNA) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeated_sequence_(DNA)

    Direct repeats occur when a nucleotide sequence is repeated with the same directionality. Inverted repeats occur when a nucleotide sequence is repeated in the inverse direction. For example, a direct repeat of "CATCAT" would be another repetition of "CATCAT". In contrast, the inverted repeated would be "ATGATG".

  4. Dot plot (bioinformatics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_plot_(bioinformatics)

    Once the dots have been plotted, they will combine to form lines. The closeness of the sequences in similarity will determine how close the diagonal line is to what a graph showing a curve demonstrating a direct relationship is. This relationship is affected by certain sequence features such as frame shifts, direct repeats, and inverted repeats.

  5. Gene duplication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_duplication

    The chance of it happening is a function of the degree of sharing of repetitive elements between two chromosomes. The products of this recombination are a duplication at the site of the exchange and a reciprocal deletion. Ectopic recombination is typically mediated by sequence similarity at the duplicate breakpoints, which form direct repeats.

  6. Satellite DNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_DNA

    For example, minisatellite DNA is a short region (1-5 kb) of repeating elements with length >9 nucleotides. Whereas microsatellites in DNA sequences are considered to have a length of 1-8 nucleotides. [8] The difference in how many of the repeats is present in the region (length of the region) is the basis for DNA profiling. [citation needed]

  7. Replication (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_(statistics)

    Example of direct replication and conceptual replication. There are two main types of replication in statistics. First, there is a type called “exact replication” (also called "direct replication"), which involves repeating the study as closely as possible to the original to see whether the original results can be precisely reproduced.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ditto_mark

    The ditto mark is a shorthand sign, used mostly in hand-written text, indicating that the words or figures above it are to be repeated. [1] [2]The mark is made using "a pair of apostrophes"; [1] "a pair of marks " used underneath a word"; [3] the symbol " (quotation mark); [2] [4] or the symbol ” (right double quotation mark).
