TransposonUltimate
TransposonUltimate: a holistic bundle of tools for transposon identification
This is the official GitHub page of TransposonUltimate. You will find four pages with powerful tools for transposon identification here:
-
Transposon Annotation Tools This page contains conda packaged versions of different transposon annotation tools, including MUSTv2, HelitronScanner, SineFinder, MiteTracker, MiteFinderII, SineScan, TirVish, LtrHarvest, TransposonPSI, TransposonNCBICDD1000.
-
Transposon Classifier "RFSB" This page contains the transposon classification module "RFSB" (Random Forest Selective Binary), that can classify any given DNA sequence into a hierarchical taxonomic scheme. Also, you can use this software to train models for other databases on your own.
-
Transposon Annotator "reasonaTE" This page contains the transposon annotation pipeline "reasonaTE", that is an ensemble of 13 annotation tools and combines the knowledge of different annotation approaches.
-
Transposition Event Detector "deTEct" This page contains the transposition event detection module "deTEct", that uses structural variants discovered by Sniffles and PBSV to match these against transposon annotations. As a result, it allows for the observation of potential transposition events.
