Repbase Update -- a database of eukaryotic repetitive elements
What you can do:
Search for repetitive elements from diverse eukaryotic organisms.
Highlights:
- As a database of prototypic sequences representing repetitive DNA from different eukaryotic species, Repbase Update contains over 3600 annotated sequences representing different families and subfamilies of repeats.
- Each sequence is accompanied by a short description and references to the original contributors.
- Repbase Update includes Repbase Reports, an electronic journal publishing newly discovered transposable elements, and the Transposon Pub, a web-based browser of selected chromosomal maps of transposable elements.
- Sequences from Repbase Update are used to screen and annotate repetitive elements using programs such as Censor and RepeatMasker.
