This includes short repetitive subsequences (repeat sequences) in a protein sequence., This includes repetitive elements within a nucleic acid sequence, e.g. long terminal repeats (LTRs); sequences (typically retroviral) directly repeated at both ends of a sequence and other types of repeating unit.
