Direct repeats Inverted repeats Tandem repeatsUniquesequenceUniquesequenceIndependentreadsIncorrectsequencealignmentsA B CFig. 7. (A) Direct repeats are regions of highly identical sequence that lie in the same orientation. Direct repeats are often mistakenly alignedon top of each other, thereby eliminating the unique sequence that lies between the repeat copies. (B) Inverted repeats are regions of highlyidentical sequence that lie in opposite orientations. Inverted repeats often cause physical gaps in the sequence. Secondary bonding betweenthe repeat units results in hairpin loops, which may be both unstable to clone and notoriously difficult to sequence through. (C) Tandemrepeats are regions of highly similar sequence with little or no unique sequence separating the repeat copies. Tandem repeats are oftenincorrectly aligned on top of each other and are difficult to sort. Most polymerases are unable to sequence through multiple copies withoutslipping.210 de la Bastide et al
