Finding low-complexity DNA sequences with longdust
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
This paper introduces Longdust, a new algorithm for efficiently identifying long, repetitive DNA sequences (low-complexity DNA). These sequences are often associated with errors in DNA analysis. Longdust is faster and handles longer repeats better than previous methods.

Imagine your DNA has sections that repeat the same letters over and over, like a broken record. Longdust is a computer program that quickly finds these "broken record" sections in DNA.
