GenoSSRFinder: a tool for rapid, precise, and targeted simple sequence repeat detection in genomic studies

GenoSSRFinder: uma ferramenta para detecção de repetição de sequência simples rápida, precisa e direcionada em estudos genômicos

Abstract

The GenoSSRFinder is a new tool enables the research of Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) in DNA sequences and genomes much simpler and more precise in short time. The analysis is carried out by targeting a certain SSR in genome and gene sequences. This utility is quick, accurate, and does its function quite well. It quickly goes across the sequence, revealing all of the locations at which the selected SSR may be found. This tool will tell researchers where selected SSR begins and where it stops, how long it is, how often it repeats, and how long each repetition is. GenoSSRFinder gets the findings quickly, and they will be simple to comprehend. Therefore, when studying SSRs, researchers will have more time to use to thorough work as a result of this time savings. In addition, it provides a valuable information since it is highly precise. GenoSSRFinder is simple to use and produces high-quality findings. It is also accelerating SSRs gene research, which is a direct result of the new approach we use to analyse SSRs. Three case studies in this study demonstrated the usefulness of this program by immediately studying a particular SSR that was associated with genetic illness, biodiversity and criminal science in living organisms. This demonstration explains that GenoSSRFinder might be utilized in a wide variety of fields, such as the research of genetic illnesses, the biodiversity and genetic studies, or even in criminal investigations.
