STAR
:: DESCRIPTION
The program STAR (Search for Tandem Approximate Repeats) searches for significant Approximate Tandem Repeats (ATR) of a given motif in a DNA sequence. For each region of the sequence that is similar to a tandem repeat of the input motif, STAR returns a description of the segment that it calls a “Zone”, and an optimal alignment of the zone with the best possible Exact Tandem Repeat. (Here, exact means perfect.) STAR optimally detects all such zones in the sequence.
