Preferred Label : terminal repeat sequences;
MeSH definition : Nucleotide sequences repeated on both the 5' and 3' ends of a sequence under consideration.
For example, the hallmarks of a transposon are that it is flanked by inverted repeats
on each end and the inverted repeats are flanked by direct repeats. The Delta element
of Ty retrotransposons and LTRs (long terminal repeats) are examples of this concept.;
