DANTE_LTR

LTR retrotransposons Galaxy CLI

Identifies complete LTR retrotransposons from DANTE domain hits and classifies them into lineages

Extends DANTE domain hits into complete LTR retrotransposons: it locates the long terminal repeats flanking a set of domains and validates the element’s structure. Elements are assigned to lineages, so the annotation distinguishes families rather than reporting undifferentiated LTR elements.

Output

  • A GFF3 file of complete elements, with their internal features and lineage
  • A per-element table of structural details
  • A FASTA library of the elements, for use as a repeat library
