2.4 | Detection and classification of repetitive
elements
For de novo identification of repeat elements, we constructed a
transposable element (TE) library of the B. schroederi genome to
identified types of repeat elements by using Tandem Repeat Finder
(TRF)(Benson & G.), LTR_FINDER(X. Zhao & Hao, 2007) and RepeatModeler
(v1.0.8)(Smit, Hubley, & Green, 2015). RepeatMasker(Tarailo-Graovac &
Chen, 2009) and RepeatProteinMask(Tempel, 2012) were used to search the
genome sequences for known repeat elements, with the genome sequences
used as queries against the Repbase database(Jurka et al.).
