Comparative study of repeats in onion, garlic, and wild garlic

Comprehensive analysis of major nuclear repeats in the three Allium species: A. cepa, A. sativum, and A. ursinum. Basically, three tools were used for the repeats identification: RepeatExplorer, Tarean, and Tandem Repeats Finder - Tandem Repeats Merger. All three tools identify repeats de novo, independently on any repeats reference or database. The final estimation is, that results of this project are identified repeats representing approximately 60% of genome proportion in each species. Classified and annotated repeats represent ca. 50% of analysed genomes.
