Scope note: Serie de secuencias cortas (10-60 bases) en tándem, de ADN, moderadamente repetitivas, que se encuentran dispersas a todo lo largo del GENOMA, en los extremos de los cromosomas (TELÓMEROS) y agrupados en la proximidad de los telómeros. Su grado de repetición es entre dos y varios cientos en cada locus. Aunque existen miles de loci, cada locus muestra una unidad de repetición característica.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018598
Scope note: Tandem arrays of moderately repetitive, short (10-60 bases) DNA sequences which are found dispersed throughout the GENOME, at the ends of chromosomes (TELOMERES), and clustered near telomeres. Their degree of repetition is two to several hundred at each locus. Loci number in the thousands but each locus shows a distinctive repeat unit.
