RepEx

RepEx extracts and analyzes sequence repeats from DNA and protein sequences to identify exact, degenerate, inverted, everted, and mirror repeats for applications in genomics and proteomics, including analysis of datasets from next-generation sequencing.

Key Features:

• Comprehensive repeat detection: Identifies exact, degenerate, inverted, everted, and mirror repeats in both DNA and protein sequences.
• Extraction and analysis: Extracts repeat instances and analyzes repeat patterns for downstream genomic and proteomic studies.
• Scalability for NGS datasets: Designed to handle large datasets typical of next-generation sequencing workflows.

Scientific Applications:

• Evolutionary analysis: Characterizes repeat architecture to investigate genetic material evolution.
• Disease research: Detects repeats associated with genomic instability and genetic disorders.
• Protein function analysis: Identifies repeats in protein sequences to study macromolecular function.
• Genomics and proteomics annotation: Applied to next-generation sequencing data to annotate repeat content in genomes and proteomes.

Methodology:

Performs extraction and identification of exact, degenerate, inverted, everted, and mirror repeats from input DNA and protein sequences and is designed to process large next-generation sequencing datasets.
