DNA Repeat types

DNA Repeat types: Tandemly repeated DNA & Interspersed repetitive DNA

• Tandemly repeated DNA
  • Repeats often associated with disease syndromes
  • Telomeres
    • Contain long arrays of TTAGGG repeats
    • Repeats form nucleoprotein complex: Associate with TERF proteins
    • Repeat function
• Interspersed repetitive DNA
  • Short Interspersed Nuclear Elements (SINEs)
    • Alu
    • Mariner (Mariner-like) elements
  • Long Interspersed Nuclear Elements (LINEs)
  • Transposable elements with Long Terminal Repeats
  • DNA Transposons
• Transposable repeat elements: Possible adverse effects
