the values are case-insensitive, i.e. both "INVERTED" and "inverted" are valid;
Definitions of the values:
tandem, a repeat that exists adjacent to another in the same
orientation;
inverted, a repeat which occurs as part of as set (normally a part)
organized in the reverse orientation;
flanking, a repeat lying outside the sequence for which it has
functional significance (eg. transposon insertion target sites);
terminal, a repeat at the ends of and within the sequence for which
it has functional significance (eg. transposon LTRs);
direct, a repeat that exists not always adjacent but is in the same
orientation;
dispersed, a repeat that is found dispersed throughout the genome;
other, a repeat exhibiting important attributes that cannot be
described by other values.
