RepeatMasker Developed by Arian Smit and Robert Hubley Please refer to: Smit, AFA, Hubley, R. & Green, P "RepeatMasker" at http://www.repeatmasker.org RepeatMasker is a program that screens DNA sequences for interspersed repeats and low complexity DNA sequences. The output of the program is a detailed annotation of the repeats that are present in the query sequence as well as a modified version of the query sequence in which all the annotated repeats have been masked (default: replaced by Ns). Sequence comparisons in RepeatMasker are performed by the program cross_match, an efficient implementation of the Smith-Waterman-Gotoh algorithm developed by Phil Green, or by WU-Blast developed by Warren Gish
