| Summary: | After the recent advancement of sequencing strategies, mirror repeats have
been found to be present in the gene sequence of many organisms and species.
This presence of mirror repeats in most of the sequences indicates towards some
important functional role of these repeats. However, a simple and quick
strategy to search these repeats in a given sequence is not available. We in
this manuscript have proposed a simple and swift strategy named as FPCB
strategy to identify mirror repeats in a give sequence. The strategy includes
three simple steps of downloading sequencing in FASTA format (F), making its
parallel complement (PC) and finally performing a homology search with the
original sequence (B). At least twenty genes were analyzed using the proposed
study. A number and types of mirror repeats were observed. We have also tried
to give nomenclature to these repeats. We hope that the proposed FPCB strategy
will be quite helpful for the identification of mirror repeats in DNA or mRNA
sequence. Also the strategy may help in unraveling the functional role of
mirror repeats in various processes including evolution. |
