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.).
