Abstract:BackgroundSimple sequence repeats (SSRs) are found ubiquitously in almost all genome, and their formation mechanism is ambiguous yet.ResultsHere, the SSRs were analyzed in 55 randomly selected segments of genomes from a fairly wide range of species, with introducing more open standard for extensively mining repeats. A high percentage of repeats were discovered in these segments, which is inconsistent with the current theory suggested that repeats tend to disappear over long-term evolution. Therefore, a mechani… Show more
