    what's the default species when using repeatmasker

    I used the repeatmasker to predict the repeats, However the result is far lower than the reported, what's the problem?

    I have tested the result is different when you use choose different species for the species option? what's the default species in repeatmasker. In the old version, it default human.

    Not sure what your desired genome is but UCSC has several masked genomes on their site. Maybe you can get a readymade file?

      my desired genome is not presented in the RepBase. for I havenot multiple repeats of my genome, so I had to choose the species which is near to my genome in evolution.

        The default library (when no custom library is specified with the "-lib" option) is a database of repeat proteins in the "Libraries" directory of your RepeatMasker installation.

        There is also the "-species" option that will allow you to specify one library for masking.

        Code:
        -species <query species>
                Specify the species or clade of the input sequence. The species name
                must be a valid NCBI Taxonomy Database species name and be contained
                in the RepeatMasker repeat database. Some examples are:
        
                  -species human
                  -species mouse
                  -species rattus
                  -species "ciona savignyi"
                  -species arabidopsis
        
                Other commonly used species:
        
                mammal, carnivore, rodentia, rat, cow, pig, cat, dog, chicken, fugu,
                danio, "ciona intestinalis" drosophila, anopheles, elegans,
                diatoaea, artiodactyl, arabidopsis, rice, wheat, and maize

          you could try "-species all"

            Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
            by seqadmin




            The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

            This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

            The Headliner
            The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
