New Resource! Repbase

The UT Southwestern Library has recently subscribed to Repbase. Maintained by the Genetic Information Research Institute (GIRI), Repbase is a database of prototypic sequences representing repetitive DNA from different eukaryotic species. Repbase is used worldwide as the reference standard for annotating the presence of repetitive DNA in genomic data. GIRI publishes Repbase Reports, a monthly e-journal that reports newly identified repetitive DNA elements, which are subsequently stored and shared in Repbase. GIRI also provides computational tools (Censor and RepbaseSubmitter) and online services for screening and submission of the repeats.
