A palindrome is a word or phrase that reads ... It's therefore hard for a single sequence folding algorithm to resolve which of the plausible lowest-energy structures is correct.

The beginning of the CRISPR revolution was marked by the discovery of a large number of repeated palindromic sequences in a region of bacterial DNA. In these sequences, the letters of the genetic code ...

Hence, the origin of these palindromic sequences has puzzled researchers ... was to model the gene history using a custom computer algorithm. According to postdoctoral researcher Heli Mönttinen ...

(It stands for clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats.) At the time, many researchers assumed that the 'spacer' sequences were junk, but in 2005, Pennisi notes, three different ...

But new technology and bioinformatics algorithms allowed the team to ... to pinpoint precisely where an inversion occurs in a palindromic sequence. “It was the Y chromosome that lacked the ...
