@repeatmasker.bsky.social How long will Repeatmasker be “temporarily” off-line?

Second, these L1s are extremely old, diverging by ~30% from the consensus. At these ages, RepeatMasker must struggle to identify them, and there may be other L1 fragments in these loci that RepeatMasker can't find. Why would HUSH discern these very old L1s from the surrounding AT-rich sequence?

🚀Preprint out!
“A Comprehensive Annotation of Conserved Protein Domains in HERVs” by our Functional Genomics Team, @tmontsay.bsky.social, @annaesteveco.bsky.social

A key resource annotating conserved retroviral domains across 120,000+ ORFs from internal HERV regions

www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
The annotation pipeline begins with the output file from RepeatMasker. While the main output is a TSV file containing domain coordinates and completeness scores, several intermediate and supporting files are also generated, including FASTA, TSV, BED, and TBL files, as well as InterProScan and Phobius output files providing additional information for each detected domain.
