ReAlignerV -- web-based genomic alignment tool
What you can do:
Perform sequence alignment.
Highlights:
- ReAlignerV is a web server for complex alignment of genomic sequences.
- It returns ladder-like schematic alignments that integrate predicted transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) and the location of transposable elements (TEs).
- It also provides pair-wise alignments in which the predicted TFBS sites and their names are shown alongside each sequence.
- ReAlignerV has a higher specificity and robustness to insertions for sequences having more than 20% TE content, compared to others.
- It can be applied successfully to TE-insertion-rich sequences without prior repeat masking, and this increases the chances of finding regulatory sequences hidden in TEs, which are important sources of the regulatory network evolution.
