Construction of a comprehensive library of repeated sequences for the annotation of Citrus genomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The comprehensive annotation of repeated sequences in genomes is an essential prerequisite for studying the dynamics of these sequences over time and their involvement in gene regulation. Currently, the diversity of repeated sequences in Citrus genomes is only partially characterized because the annotations have been performed using heterogeneous bioinformatics tools, each with its specificity and dedicated only to the annotation of transposable elements.

Results

We combined complementary repeat-finding programs including REPET, CAULIFINDER, and TAREAN, to enable the identification of all types of repetitive sequences found in plant genomes, including transposable elements, endogenous caulimovirids, and satellite DNAs. A fine-grained annotation method was first de
