Self-analysis of repeat proteins reveals evolutionarily conserved patterns

Abstract Background Protein repeats can confound sequence analyses because the repetitiveness of their amino acid sequences lead to difficulties in identifying whether similar repeats are due to convergent or divergent evolution. We noted that the patterns derived from traditional “dot plot” protein...
