Yeast DNA

SERV - Sequence-based Estimation of Repeat Variability. A tool to find tandem repeats in DNA sequences and estimate the variability of each repeat found. The higher the VARscore, the higher the estimated variability. Sequences with VARscores above 1 are usually polymorphic between species/strains.For more information, see: Legendre, M., Pochet, N., Pak, T. and Verstrepen, K.J. (2007). Sequence-based estimation of minisatellite and microsatellite repeat variability. Genome Research 17: 1787-1796 PDF file of this paper

TRDB - Databases of tandem repeats within genes and promoters of the model organisms Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Arabidopsis thaliana.

Dot Plots - find repeats in a DNA sequence, or duplicated areas in two sequences.

Compare Two Excel Lists - handy program developed by the Whitehead Institute’s BARC team to compare two excel columns and find which elements are common and unique to each list.
