ReviSTER 0.1.7 – Revise Misaligned Reads to simple Tandem Repeats

ReviSTER 0.1.7

:: DESCRIPTION

ReviSTER (Revise Simple Tandem repeat Error Reads) is an automated pipeline using a local mapping reference reconstruction method to revise mismapped (mapped to incorrect position) or partially misaligned (mapped to correct position but one of ends misaligned) reads at STR (Simple Tandem Repeat) loci. It takes FASTQ-formatted files, a reference sequence file and a list file containing STR locations as inputs and utilizes BWA as an initial mapping program.

T-REKS – Identification of Tandem Repeats

T-REKS

:: DESCRIPTION

T-REKS (Tandem Repeats Exploration based on K-means in Sequences) is an algorithm for de novo detection and alignment of repeats in sequences based on K-means algorithm. Minimal length of repeat arrays is 9 for true homorepeats and 14 for other repeats with potential biological meaning.

Phobos 3.3.12 – Tandem Repeat search tool for Complete Genomes

Phobos 3.3.12

:: DESCRIPTION

Phobos is a tandem repeat search tool for complete genomes.PHOBOS can search for tandem repeats with a unit size of more than 5000 bp, which in the STAMP modules implies that primers can also be designed for minisatellites and tandem repeats with even longer units. Search settings and the output format of PHOBOS can be adjusted in a flexible manner, making it an ideal multipurpose tandem repeat search tool

TRF 4.09 – Tandem Repeats Finder

TRF 4.09

:: DESCRIPTION

TRF (Tandem Repeats Finder) is a program to locate and display tandem repeats in DNA sequences. In order to use the program, the user submits a sequence in FASTA format. There is no need to specify the pattern, the size of the pattern or any other parameter. The output consists of two files: a repeat table file and an alignment file. The repeat table contains information about each repeat, including its location, size, number of copies and nucleotide content. Clicking on the location indices for one of the table entries opens a second web browser that shows an alignment of the copies against a consensus pattern. The program is very fast, analyzing sequences on the order of .5Mb in just a few seconds. Submitted sequences may be of arbitrary length. Repeats with pattern size in the range from 1 to 2000 bases are detected. Sequence information sent to the server is confidential and deleted after program execution.
