REPEATMASKER WEB SERVER

Current Version: 07/16/00

RepeatMasker screens DNA sequences in fasta format against a library of repetitive elements and returns a masked query sequence ready for database searches as well as a table annotating the masked regions.
Reference: A.F.A. Smit & P. Green, unpublished data.

Large sequences will be queued, and may take a while to process. Consider retrieving results by email, using the email server (send "help" to repeatmasker@ftp.genome.washington.edu) or running RepeatMasker locally (see below for contact)
Enter the file to process:

Or paste the sequence(s) in FASTA format:

Select return format: html tar file links
Select return method: html email

Speed/Sensitivity: quick default slow

DNA source:
Primates Rodents Other mammals Other vertebrates
Arabidopsis Grasses Drosophila

Options:
Show Alignments
Do not mask simple repeats and low complexity DNA
Only mask simple repeats and low complexity DNA
Only mask Alus
Mask with X's to distinguish masked regions from Ns already in query
Produce an annotation table with fixed width columns

Other options:

For faster service in Europe, try one of the mirror sites in England, or Germany.

RepeatMasker can be run locally on UNIX or LINUX systems. It is free to academic and non-profit institutions (contact Arian Smit). Commercial licenses are available from Geospiza.
