RepeatMasker is a program that screens DNA sequences for interspersed
|
|
repeats and low complexity DNA sequences. The output of the program is a
|
|
detailed annotation of the repeats that are present in the query
|
|
sequence as well as a modified version of the query sequence in which
|
|
all the annotated repeats have been masked (default: replaced by Ns).
|
|
|
|
Currently over 56% of human genomic sequence is identified and masked by
|
|
the program. Sequence comparisons in RepeatMasker are performed by one
|
|
of several popular search engines including:
|
|
|
|
- nhmmer (part of 'HMMER', available on SBo)
|
|
- Cross_Match. Due to licensing, you should obtain this yourself:
|
|

|
|
- ABBlast/WUBlast. Due to licensing, you should obtain this yourself:
|
|
https://blast.advbiocomp.com/licensing/
|
|
- RMBlast (found as 'ncbi-rmblastn' on SBo)
|
|
|
|
RepeatMasker makes use of curated libraries of repeats and currently
|
|
supports Dfam (profile HMM library derived from Repbase sequences) and
|
|
Repbase, a service of the Genetic Information Research Institute.
