RepeatMasker is a tool to detect repeats and low complexity DNA sequences. The RepeatMasker can use nhmmer, cross_match, ABBlast, WUBlast, RMBlast, and Decypher for repeat detection, as well as Dfam and Repbase libraries. The RepeatMasker algorithm outputs annotation and a FASTA file with repeats masked, i.e., replaced by Ns by default.
