Repeated sequence (DNA)

Patterns of nucleic acids that occur in multiple copies throughout the genome

Repeated sequences are short or long patterns that occur in multiple copies throughout the genome. In many organisms, a significant fraction of the genomic DNA is repetitive, with over two-thirds of the sequence consisting of repetitive elements in humans. Some of these repeated sequences are necessary for maintaining important genome structures such as telomeres or centromeres.
