Repeat annotation of the Tibetan wild ass genome (under the Genbank BioProject PRJNA1299250)

Tandem repeats were predicted with GMATA (v2.2) and Tandem Repeats Finder (TRF, v4.07b). The LTR_retriever pipelines were then applied to build a curated LTR transposable-element library (TE-library), while RepeatModeler (open-1.0.11)generated a de novo repeat library (RepMod-library). The TE--library, the RepMod- library, and the Repbase database (v20181026) were merged into a comprehensive repeat library, which was subsequently used by RepeatMasker (Revision 1.331)to mask and annotate repetitive sequences across the entire genome.
