| Abstract: | Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) are ubiquitous short tandem repeats, which are associated with various regulatory mechanisms and have been found in viral genomes. Herein, we develop MfSAT (Multi-functional SSRs Analytical Tool), a new powerful tool which can fast identify SSRs in multiple short viral genomes and then automatically calculate the numbers and proportions of various SSR types (mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexanucleotide repeats). Furthermore, it also can detect codon repeats and report the corresponding amino acid. |
