Inverted repeat
Two regions of a nucleic acid molecule which have the same nucleotide sequence but in an inverted orientation, such as
5´ GCACTTG... ...CAAGTGC 3´
3´ CGTGAAC... ...GTTCACG 5´
Because they contain exactly the same message when read in either direction, inverted repeats are said to be palindromes.
