Repeat Discovery - prediction and verification

Directed search for polymorphic tandem DNA repeats within gene coding regions and UTRs. 

Our POMPOUS code predicts highly probable repeat polymorphisms in microsatellite regions from sequence context only.  We have experimentally validated this technique as well.  This class of variation has been causative of many diseases, is pervasive in the genome and they are very polymorphic. http://innovation.swmed.edu/pompous.htm
