NAME¶
repeatmasker-recon - finds repeat families from biological sequences
SYNOPSIS¶
repeatmasker-recon seq_name_list_file MSP_file integer
DESCRIPTION¶
The RECON package implements a de novo algorithm for the indentification of
repeat families from biological sequences.
The program implements an approach for the de novo identification
and classification of repeat sequence families that is based on extensions
to the usual approach of single linkage clustering of local pairwise
alignments between genomic sequences. The extensions use multiple alignment
information to define the boundaries of individual copies of the repeats and
to distinguish homologous but distinct repeat element families. When tested
on the human genome, this approach was able to properly identify and group
known transposable elements. The program, should be useful for first-pass
automatic classification of repeats in newly sequenced genomes.
