Scope note: Copias de una secuencia de ácidos nucleicos que se disponen en una orientación opuesta. Pueden ser adyacentes (tándem) o estar separadas por alguna secuencia que no forma parte de la repetición (con guión). Pueden ser verdaderas repeticiones palindrómicas, es decir, se lee igual hacia adelante y hacia atrás, o complementarias, que lee como la base complementaria en la orientación opuesta. Las repeticiones complementarias invertidas tienen el potencial de formar estructuras en bucle de horquilla o lazo del tallo, que dan lugar a estructuras cruciformes (como el ADN CRUCIFORME) cuando se dan las repeticiones invertidas complementarias en regiones de doble hebra.

Scope note: Copies of nucleic acid sequence that are arranged in opposing orientation. They may lie adjacent to each other (tandem) or be separated by some sequence that is not part of the repeat (hyphenated). They may be true palindromic repeats, i.e. read the same backwards as forward, or complementary which reads as the base complement in the opposite orientation. Complementary inverted repeats have the potential to form hairpin loop or stem-loop structures which results in cruciform structures (such as CRUCIFORM DNA) when the complementary inverted repeats occur in double stranded regions.
