LtrDetector seems to give me more, faster and better results when compared to LTR_harvest #164

Open grpiccoli opened 2 years ago

grpiccoli commented 2 years ago

I re-compiled a tetool image that modifies LTRPipeline and uploaded it to docker://grpiccoli/tetools and then I compared the results obtained from running it over a few small and complete plant genomes available on ncbi Genomes project website. The LtrDetector version consistently rendered better results

I can see that the code to run LtrDectector is already present in RepeatModeler but it is commented out. Except for the convert_ltrdetector.pl command

Is there a reason why LtrDetector was pulled back from the solution? why not doing LtrHarvest + LtrDectector as input for Ltr_retriever as described in their pipeline?
