how to combine denovo and RepBase Libraries in RepeatMasker? #116

Hi,

Sorry if my question sounds dumb, I have installed the RM2 with singularity container and I have added the RepBase lib using your instruction. Then I ran RepeatModeler on a non-model fly to get the -families.fa file.

Now that I want to run the RepeatMasker using the same first fly genome, should I combine the RMasker Library (with RepBase) with the generated -families.fa file? or I should mask this genome only on the inbuilt RMasker library? Sorry this part is honestly vague to me. I understand that I have to use the newly built library for masking other genomes of the same species but I am confused on how to mask the first genome?

I also don't know how to merge the libraries (-families.fa + RMasker(RepBase included)).

Thanks
