Abstract	:	Dot � matrix plots are widely used for similarity analysis of biological sequences. Many algorithms and computer software tools have been developed for this purpose. Two dot-matrix comparison methods have been developed for analysis of large sequences. The methods initially locate similarity regions between two sequences using a fast word search algorithm, followed with an explicit comparison on these regions. The methods produce high quality dot-matrix plots with low background noise. Space requirements are linear, so the algorithms can be used for comparison of genome size sequences. Simple sequence repeats(SSR) or micro-satellites are becoming standard DNA markers for plant genome analysis and are being used as markers in marker assisted breeding.De novo generation of micro-satellite markers through laboratory-based screening of SSR-enriched genomic libraries is highly time consuming and expensive. A tandem repeat in DNA is two or more adjacent, approximate copies of a pattern of nucleotides. Tandem Repeats Finder is a program �to locate and display tandem reports in DNA sequences�. In order to use the program, the user submits a sequence in FASTA format.
