Sliding window optimisation
I would like to check transposable elements through a genome with a sliding window approach but I am not sure about which window and step size to use.
Is there a way to optimise the window size and ...

Annotatation of transposable elements / transposons / SINE sequences in human
I need to annotate human genome with different types of information, amongst them: transposable elements.
I read about repeatmasker, but what I understood is that it estimates the probability of a ...

Difference between genome assembly and genome sequence alignment to a reference to find structural variants
I'm trying to determine what the difference and benefits of genome assembly and genome sequence alignments are when trying to identify structural variants or transposons in populations.
I've been ...

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 ...
