title: Genome-wide tool for sensitive de novo identification of interspersed and tandem repeats

description: Genomic repeats are functionally ubiquitous structural units found in all genomes. These repeating patterns have a manifold signature and structure, making identification challenging. To address this challenge, we developed software that can rapidly and accurately detect any type of repeated sequences <em>de novo</em> in genomic sequences in the form of interspersed or clustered repeats. Numerous forms of repeated sequences and “repeat within repeat” patterns can be identified even for very complex sequence variants and for implicit or mixed types of repeat blocks. Direct and inverted-repeat elements, perfect and imperfect microsatellite repeats, and any type of short- or long-tandem repeats belonging to a wide range of organized into higher-order repeat structures of telomers or large satellite sequences can be detected. By combining precision and versatility, our tool significantly contributes to elucidating the intricate landscape of genomic repeats.
