In the study of transposable elements (TEs), the generation of a high confidence set of consensus sequences that represent the diversity of TEs found in a given genome is a key step in the path to investigating these fascinating genomic elements.

With next-generation sequencing and other high-throughput technologies revolutionizing life sciences and health care research, data processing and interpretation, rather than data production, has become the major limiting factor for discovery and innovation. Large genomics centers, and increasingly smaller research labs, are facing significant data analysis challenges.

In early 2021, Jeffrey Hyacinthe, another student here in Guillaume Bourque’s lab, wrote about repetitive sequences, focusing on transposable elements (TEs). Here I will discuss another type of repetitive sequence: short tandem repeats (STRs), also known as microsatellites.
