Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) are dynamic components of genomes that often vary in copy number among members of the same species. With the advent of next-generation sequencing TE insertion-site polymorphism can be examined at an unprecedented level of detail when combined with easy-to-use bioinformatics software. Here we report a new tool, RelocaTE, that rapidly identifies specific TE insertions that are either...
