NAME

       repeatmasker-recon - finds repeat families from biological sequences

SYNOPSIS

       repeatmasker-recon seq_name_list_file MSP_file integer

DESCRIPTION

       The  RECON  package  implements  a  de  novo  algorithm  for  the  identification of repeat families from
       biological sequences.

       The program implements an approach for the de novo identification and classification of  repeat  sequence
       families that is based on extensions to the usual approach of single linkage clustering of local pairwise
       alignments  between  genomic  sequences.  The extensions use multiple alignment information to define the
       boundaries of individual copies of the repeats and to distinguish homologous but distinct repeat  element
       families.  When  tested  on the human genome, this approach was able to properly identify and group known
       transposable elements. The program, should be useful for first-pass automatic classification  of  repeats
       in newly sequenced genomes.
