  • Cannot understand Repeatmasker behaviour

    Hi All,

    I used the MIPSRE-dat database to mask repeats in a maize BAC sequence using repeatmasker (default parameters). The repeatmasked file obtained, I gave as input to a custom built annotation pipeline, that I am testing and trying to improve. This pipeline has repeatmasker (RM) built in as a component. The run parameters for the pipeline RM is default again, and the database used is MIPSRE-dat again.

    I was expecting that if a repeat masked file is run via repeatmasker again using the same database and run settings, I will not get additional repeat masking. However, that is not the case. I get additional repeatmasking in regions that was not repeat masked. i know this because the gff file that is obtained has coordinates not present in the first run.

    I am confused about repeatmasker behavior. Can anyone please comment? What am i missing? Has anyone faced this before?

    Thanks
    Abhijit

    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...
