title: Repetitions in DNA sequences

We start by several introductory remarks on different types of repetitions occurring in genomic sequences and their biological function, motivating the algorithmic problem of efficiently identifying repetitions. We then turn to analyzing different types of algorithms used in bioinformatics in general. At this point we will make some remarks on how classical algorithmic notions and techniques meet the needs of biologists. Finally, we illustrate this by reviewing existing methods for finding tandem repeats and in particular two of them, implemented in software programs Tandem Repeats Finder and mreps.
