Annotation helper tool for the manual curation of transposable element consensus sequences
TE-Aid is a shell+R program aimed to help the manual curation of transposable elements (TE). It inputs a TE consensus sequence (fasta format) and requires a reference genome (in fasta as well). TE-Aid produces 4 figures reporting i) the genomic hits with divergence to consensus, ii) the genomic coverage of the consensus, iii) a self dot-plot, and iv) a structure analysis including TIR and LTR suggestions, open reading frames (ORFs) and TE protein hit annotation.
