InvertiaDB: A Database of Inverted Repeats Across Organismal Genomes.

ABSTRACT: Inverted repeats are repetitive elements that can form hairpin and cruciform structures. They are linked to genomic instability, however they also have various biological functions. Their distribution differs markedly across taxonomic groups in the tree of life, and they exhibit high polymorphism due to their inherent genomic instability. Advances in sequencing technologies and declined costs have enabled the generation of an ever-growing number of complete genomes for organisms across taxonomic groups in the tree of life. However, a comprehensive database encompassing inverted repeats across diverse organismal genomes has been lacking. We present InvertiaDB, the first comprehensive database of inverted repeats spanning multiple taxa, featuring repeats identified in the genomes of 118,070
