I want to to perform repeatmasking on ant genome. Ant is also included in the repeat library obtained from Repbase. The library RepeatMaskerLib.embl also contains my species. However, I also generated de novo repeat library by repeatmodeler (consensi.fa). How can I use both library for masking ant genome ? Should I concatenate RepeatMaskerLib.embl and consensi.fa or can I use both library with single command?

You can go both ways. Have not done this myself but the simplest way would be to pull put ant repeats from RepeatMaskerLib.embl and merge them with your custom repeat library (as fasta). You could then use the -lib option in RepeatMasker to supply the updated custom repeat library and mask the ant genome.
AFAIK, you cannot combine both libraries in a single command.

Hey, I think this would be a great solution, but I have a problem...
I want to mask the repeats, but I want to classify them as well.
If I get the Repbase library in fasta format (to concatenate it with my own database and use it with -lib) then I lose the classificators (ex: #LINE/L1 --> ).
[I don't know if anyone came out with a script to put the "#" and "/" where they should be, but I don't know how, because usually there's only the Superfamily but not the Order (ex L1 but not LINE)]
I also tried to convert RepeatMaskerLib.embl to .fasta but I lose the classification info too.
I guess it won't work to put my repeats, in .embl, into RepeatMaskerLib.embl, but I haven't tried yet.
Did anyone find a way to solve this?
Thank you for any help

Thank you for your help.
I manage to get my library classified, but I still have another doubt.
When I use Repeatmasker with a custom library (-lib) the .tbl file seems to be made with the results of masking the genome with
Homo sapies repeats alone ("The query species was assumed to be homo"). My guess is that I can't obtain a .tbl output with a custom library (even if this library is made by RepeatModeler). Is this true?
Thank you again

If the answer to my previous question is yes (so I can't get a real .tbl output when using RepeatMasker with the -lib option) is there any script that can produce something similar to the .tbl output with RepeatMasker .out or .gff files?
(My library is classified with #class/subclass identifiers).
Thank you for your time

Yes. You can use the RepeatMasker/util/buildSummary.pl script to reprocess the *.out file and summarize the results. The buildSummary.pl creates a similar table to the *.tbl file but also includes tabulations of each individual repeat and each seq/chr of the input.

Thank you, buildSummary seems to be what I was looking for, but I have another question.
I masked the same genome with different libraries and I used the buildSummary script to extract the repeat information from the *.out files.
But every .tbl file considers a different genome length. It is a number between the original total length and the excluding N/X-runs value. In my case 10 to 20 Mb smaller that the original length.
Consequently the % of repeats have important differences.
Can anyone help?
Thank you very much

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-

Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...-
