Dfam

Dfam is a web-based database containing transposable Element DNA sequence alignments (interspersed repeats), Hidden Markov Models (HMMs), consensus sequences, and genome annotations. The Dfam database represents the transposable element alignments as families together with annotations.

Topic

Sequence analysis; Sequence composition, complexity and repeats
