Abstract

An efficient algorithm is presented for detecting approximate tandem repeats in genomic sequences. The algorithm is based on a flexible statistical model which allows a wide range of definitions of approximate tandem repeats. The ideas and methods underlying the algorithm are described and examined and its effectiveness on genomic data is demonstrated.
