Finding 2000 bp sequences that occur more than once in the genome
I am looking for a software that can identify long sequences (1500-2000 bp) that occur more than once in my genome of interest. A k-mer counter like KMC could have worked, but KMC has a max limit of ...

Do RepeatModeler results contain functional domains?
The repeat families predicted by RepeatModeler contain known transposable elements (TEs) and unknown ones.
How do we know whether some of these may actually:
within a functional domain of a gene or

Is there any way to align ChIP-seq reads to telomeres?
I know that telomeres are highly repeated sequences, but is there any way to retain any reads that map to these regions (on HG38)?
I recently managed to find some protein binding to centromeres, ...

Aligning ChIP-Seq reads to repeats for downstream peak analysis
This is a brief question regarding the above. I have previously used bowtie to map reads from paired-end ChIP-Seq sequencing, then used the positions for peak-calling. However, I'm trying to do ...

How can I use Nanopore reads to close gaps or resolve repeats in a short-read assembly?
Low coverage MinION reads should be useful to close gaps and resolve repeats left by short-read assemblers. However, I haven't had any success with the software I know about. I'm aware of the ...

Are there any RepBase alternatives for genome-wide repeat element annotations?
I’m using the RepBase libraries in conjunction with RepeatMasker to get genome-wide repeat element annotations, in particular for transposable elements.
This works well enough, and seems to be the de ...
