- | WindowMasker is a denovo repeat finder from the NCBI, published in 2006, A denovo repeat finder is a program designed to find repeats in DNA sequence without using the RepeatMasker. RepeatMasker is a program that screens DNA sequences for interspersed repeats and low complexity DNA sequences. The output of the program is a detailed annotation of the repeats that are present in the query sequence as well as a modified version of the query sequence in which all the annotated repeats have been masked (default: replaced by Ns). On average, almost 50% of a human genomic DNA sequence currently will be masked by the program. Sequence comparisons in RepeatMasker are performed by the program cross_match, | ||
