Systematic Analysis of Structure of Multiple Tandem Repeat Arrays in the Human Genome

Abstract

Repetitive elements constitute the vast majority of the human genome and form many complex but highly-ordered patterns. Tandem repeats whose repeat units are placed next to each other particularly form very highly structured patterns in the human genome when homologous multiple tandem repeats are close together. In this paper, the structure of the multiple tandem repeat array (MTRA) is analyzed based on systematic analysis. The proposed system for analyzing MTRA derives the original tandem repeat units by using the characteristics of homology of MTRA and represents diagram model to show the structure of MTRA easily. The analysis results of the four MTRAs in the human genome are shown and the proposed algorithm is proved to be very efficient for analyzing MTRA by the comparison of three conventional algorithms.
