  Description     : locate and display tandem repeats in DNA sequences
 A tandem repeat in DNA is two or more adjacent, approximate copies of a
 pattern of nucleotides. Tandem Repeats Finder is a program to locate and
 display tandem repeats in DNA sequences. In order to use the program,
 the user submits a sequence in FASTA format. There is no need to specify
 the pattern, the size of the pattern or any other parameter. The output
 consists of two files: a repeat table file and an alignment file. The
 repeat table, viewable in a web browser, contains information about each
 repeat, including its location, size, number of copies and nucleotide
 content. Clicking on the location indices for one of the table entries
 opens a second browser page that shows an alignment of the copies
 against a consensus pattern. The program is very fast, analyzing
 sequences on the order of .5Mb in just a few seconds. Submitted
 sequences may be of arbitrary length. Repeats with pattern size in the
 range from 1 to 2000 bases are detected.
