Letter to the editor: Suspected discrepancies due to inadequate quality of an in vitro analysis revealed by an in silico analysis

Abstract

The author's in vitro analysis results were compared with those of an in silico structure analysis of the relevant sequences obtained from the author's entire genome sequence data. It was speculated that the in silico results together with author's phylogenetic results demonstrate problems in the authors' published in vitro data, which were presumably due to an inadequate accuracy of an in vitro assay. It was fortuitously suggested that alignment images to an excess repeat structure of the same locus provide a improved speculation of a number of repeats and that accurate in vitro assays are expected to complementarily provide reliable insights in the era of whole genome sequencing.
