Abstract

Repeat Sequence Database (RSDB) stores repeat sequences in genomes. RSDB differs from other databases with repeat sequences found by conventional experimental results because the repeat sequences recorded in RSDB are explored via a mathematical algorithm. This work designs and implements a database to store complete and comprehensive repeat sequences. This is despite the fact that the database contains direct, inverted and palindromic repetitive sequences, and each repetitive sequence has a variable length ranging from seven to several hundred nucleotides. A customized format of a flat file is defined for the database so that it can be easily translated into some other genome database systems. In addition, use of the database is facilitated by providing some searching tools based on the features, positions, patterns, accession numbers and sequence identifiers of repeat sequences. These searching tools are constructed mainly on SQL query statements to access the database through the Internet. As widely anticipated, the quantity of repetitive sequences of the database will become increasingly larger.
