To study the effect of different numbers of repeats of the AR.
At the end, a numerical code is developed, which corresponds to the numbers of repeats at each locus and serves as a strain's molecular fingerprint.
The biophysical properties of proteins with different numbers of repeats and different combinations of side chains in hypervariable positions were characterized.
We have found high variable numbers of repeats in Indian WSSV isolates, but sequence variation within the repeat region was confined to either T or G at position 48.
Although the results in this study suggest that the numbers of repeats range from 7 (allele 7) to 22 (allele 22), alleles 9, 10, 19, and 21 were not observed in the Japanese samples examined.
Premutation carriers have intermediate numbers of repeats.
One of the genes, called FLO1, is known to play a role in cell adhesion, so the researchers decided to test the adhesive properties of yeast with different numbers of repeats in their FLO1, gene.
All experiments were performed in triplicate or higher numbers of repeats.
Calculations with different stimulus lengths and numbers of repeats were used to verify the stability of the information measures.
However, the noise contained in each measurement may still affect analyses, particularly when small numbers of repeats are available.
Therefore, a detailed analysis of SNPs, INDELs, changes in numbers of repeats and gene-scale gains or losses was conducted.
