MREPATT: detection and analysis of exact consecutive repeats in genomic sequences.
We have developed a program to determine the number, length and position of exact consecutive repeats of short sequences in DNA fragments or whole genomes. The program also gives the statistical significance of results by comparing them with those expected for a random sequence generated according to a Markovian model.
