Is there any structure to the direct repeats for some potential function?
Conclusions • Halophile direct repeats are similar to each other (significant e-values) – swapping, functionality • Interesting triplet motifs in dyad symmetry of direct repeats • Binding site for CRISPR-associated proteins? • Folding site for siRNA? • Direct repeats may be more indicative of phylogeny in a larger more widespread group of species
