RetroMap 0.021 – Characterize LTR Retroelements on a Genome Scale

RetroMap 0.021

:: DESCRIPTION

RetroMap is an application designed to help characterize LTR retroelements on a genome scale in a visually interactive manner. This is NOT a particularly great for comprehensive identification of elements found in highly nested contexts. Only the most internal element of those which are nested is likely to be identified as a complete element. The other elements will be treated as solo LTRs and internal regions depending on how you have set up your element searches. However, it is still a handy way to get a quick visual overview of the situation and create pretty figures.
