Describe each of the general sequence categories of the human genome: 1. Interspersed repeats 2. Blocks of tandemly repeated sequences 3. Low copy repeats 4. Simple sequence repeats 5. Unique sequences
Added by Nicholas B.
Step 1
Interspersed repeats: These are repetitive sequences that are scattered throughout the genome. They can be further classified into two main types: transposable elements (TEs) and non-autonomous TEs. TEs can move within the genome, while non-autonomous TEs cannot. Show more…
