Popis: An Internet computing server has been developed to identify all the occurrences of the internal sequence repeats in a protein and DNA sequences. Further, an option is provided for the users to check the occurrence(s) of the resultant sequence repeats in the other sequence and structure (Protein Data Bank) databases. The databases deployed in the proposed computing engine are up-to-date and thus the users will get the latest information available in the respective databases. The server is freely accessible over the World Wide Web (WWW).

Bioinformatics has hence emerged as an indispensable field to organize and assemble the plethora of biological data into a more comprehensive state. For instance, internal sequence repeats (without any gaps) are an integral part of DNA and protein sequences. In DNA sequences, these internal repeats present in multiple copies are referred as ‘direct repeat’. For example, the tandem repeats are repeated consecutively and act as markers for genomic sequence
