  • what's the default species when using repeatmasker

    I used the repeatmasker to predict the repeats, However the result is far lower than the reported, what's the problem?

    I have tested the result is different when you use choose different species for the species option? what's the default species in repeatmasker. In the old version, it default human.

    Not sure what your desired genome is but UCSC has several masked genomes on their site. Maybe you can get a readymade file?

      my desired genome is not presented in the RepBase. for I havenot multiple repeats of my genome, so I had to choose the species which is near to my genome in evolution.

        The default library (when no custom library is specified with the "-lib" option) is a database of repeat proteins in the "Libraries" directory of your RepeatMasker installation.

        There is also the "-species" option that will allow you to specify one library for masking.

        Code:
        -species <query species>
                Specify the species or clade of the input sequence. The species name
                must be a valid NCBI Taxonomy Database species name and be contained
                in the RepeatMasker repeat database. Some examples are:
        
                  -species human
                  -species mouse
                  -species rattus
                  -species "ciona savignyi"
                  -species arabidopsis
        
                Other commonly used species:
        
                mammal, carnivore, rodentia, rat, cow, pig, cat, dog, chicken, fugu,
                danio, "ciona intestinalis" drosophila, anopheles, elegans,
                diatoaea, artiodactyl, arabidopsis, rice, wheat, and maize

          you could try "-species all"

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
