Overview
DESCRIPTION
From Interrupted Repeat description page when clicking the “Describe table schema” in the table browser: “This track shows joined fragments of interrupted repeats extracted from the output of the RepeatMasker program, which screens DNA sequences for interspersed repeats and low complexity DNA sequences using the RepBase library of repeats from the Genetic Information Research Institute (GIRI). RepBase is described in Jurka, J. (2000) in the References section below.
The detailed annotations from RepeatMasker are in the RepeatMasker track. This track shows fragments of original repeat insertions which have been interrupted by insertions of younger repeats or through local rearrangements. The fragments are joined using the ID column of RepeatMasker output.“
