What is a direct repeat tandem sequence?

A tract of repetitive DNA in which a motif of a few base pairs is tandemly repeated numerous times (e.g. 5 to 50 times) is referred to as microsatellite DNA. Thus direct repeat tandem sequences are a form of microsattelite DNA. The process of DNA mismatch repair plays a prominent role in the formation of direct trinucleotide repeat expansions.

How long does it take to get a DNA test results?

Answer: Most results are ready in 2 business days from receipt of samples. Delays will happen when samples are not collected properly or when the DNA Kit is not registered. Question: How will I receive my results? Answer: Results will be emailed to the address provided when testing services are purchased. We do not provide results over the phone.

How do DNA nucleotides assemble?

DNA nucleotides assemble in chains linked by covalent bonds, which form between the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of the next. This arrangement makes an alternating chain of deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups in the DNA polymer, a structure known as the sugar-phosphate backbone
