    Function
</H2>
Finds tandem repeats
<H2>
    Description
</H2>

<b>equicktandem</b> scans a sequence for potential tandem repeats up to a
specified size.  The results can be used to run <b>etandem</b> on the
candidate repeat lengths to identify genuine tandem repeats.
<p>

<b>equicktandem</b> is a simple program that looks for segments in which
each base tends to match the base 'repeatsize' back, i.e.  with an
autocorrelation peak at 'repeatsize'.  This can allow drift in the
repeating sequence, i.e.  it does not look for a consensus sequence for
the whole repeat block (that is what <b>etandem</b> does).  But it is
much quicker than etandem.  It does not account for gaps.

<p>

The score is +1 for a match to the corresponding base
'repeatsize' back and -1 for a mismatch.

<H2>
    Usage
</H2>
<b>Here is a sample session with equicktandem</b>
<p>
The input sequence is the human herpesvirus tandem repeat.
