Dinucleotide Repeats

Dinucleotide repeats are short nucleotide sequences (made of base pairs of Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine) that occur multiple times in a row in a genome. They are commonly used in genomic research, such as in the identification of genetic markers that can be linked to a variety of genetic disorders. Dinucleotide repeats can also be used to understand evolutionary relationships between different species or to investigate gene expression. As such, they are an important part of modern genetics research.
