CENSOR -- repetitive elements identification tool
What you can do:
Detect repetitive sequence in a query DNA sequence by screening it against a collection of repeats.
Highlights:
- Censor is a tool to rapidly identify repetitive elements by comparison to known repeats.
- It uses WU-BLAST for speed and sensitivity, and can conduct DNA-DNA, DNA-protein, or translated DNA-translated DNA searches of genomic sequence.
- Defragmented output includes a map of repeats present in the query sequence, with the options to report masked query sequence(s), repeat sequences found in the query, and alignments.
- This tool is available as both web-based service and downloadable version.
