Abstract

Repbase Update is a comprehensive database of repetitive elements from diverse eukaryotic organisms. Currently, it contains over 3600 annotated sequences representing different families and subfamilies of repeats, many of which are unreported anywhere else. Each sequence is accompanied by a short description and references to the original contributors. Repbase Update includes Repbase Reports, an electronic journal publishing newly discovered transposable elements, and the Transposon Pub, a web-based browser of selected chromosomal maps of transposable elements. Sequences from Repbase Update are used to screen and annotate repetitive elements using programs such as Censor and RepeatMasker. Repbase Update is available on the worldwide web at http://www.girinst.org/Repbase_Update.html.

摘要

Repbase Update是一个来自不同真核生物的重复元件综合数据库。目前，它包含超过3600条注释序列，代表了不同的重复序列家族和亚家族，其中许多在其他任何地方都未被报道过。每个序列都附有简短描述和对原始贡献者的参考文献。Repbase Update包括Repbase Reports（一本出版新发现转座元件的电子期刊）以及Transposon Pub（一个基于网络的转座元件选定染色体图谱浏览器）。Repbase Update中的序列用于使用诸如Censor和RepeatMasker等程序筛选和注释重复元件。可通过http://www.girinst.org/Repbase_Update.html在全球网络上获取Repbase Update。
