Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We present a detailed genome-scale comparative analysis of simple sequence repeats within protein coding regions among 25 insect genomes. The repetitive sequences in the coding regions primarily represented single codon repeats and codon pair repeats. The CAG triplet is highly repetitive in the coding regions of insect genomes. It is frequently paired with the synonymous codon CAA to code for polyglutamine repeats. The codon pairs that are least repetitive code for polyalanine repeats. The frequency of hexanucleotide and dinucleotide motifs of codon pair repeats is significantly (p < 0.001) different in the Drosophila species compared to the non- Drosophila species. However, the frequency of synonymous and non-synonymous codon pair repeats varies in a correlated manner (r 2 = 0.79) among all the species. Results further show that perfect and imperfect repeats have significant association with the trinucleotide and hexanucleotide coding repeats in most of these insects. However, only select species show significant association between the numbers of perfect/imperfect hexamers and repeat coding for single amino acid/amino acid pair runs. Our data further suggests that genes containing simple sequence coding repeats may be under negative selection as they tend to be poorly conserved across species. The sequences of coding repeats of orthologous genes vary according to the known phylogeny among the species. In conclusion, the study shows that simple sequence coding repeats are important features of genome diversity among insects.
