ColabCuraTE: an easy-to-use, web-based pipeline for the manual curation of transposable elements.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Transposable elements (TEs) are widespread mobile DNA sequences that shape genome structure, function, and evolution. Although automated tools exist for the de novo identification and classification of TEs, their output often requires manual refinement to generate accurate consensus sequences for individual TE families. This curation process is essential but remains time-consuming and inaccessible to many researchers, particularly those without bioinformatics expertise or access to sufficient computing resources. To address this gap, we developed ColabCuraTE, a web-based, user-friendly pipeline implemented in Google Colaboratory that enables manual curation of TEs without the need for local software installation or advanced programming skills.
