LocaTR pipeline for LTR retrotransposon identification. This flow chart shows how the structural identification, homology and secondary BLAST protocols were combined prior to the further analysis of element density, distribution, expression etc. Input/Output processing is controlled by Python and BASH scripting, and all identification programs used are freely available. The pipeline has been made applicable to any assembled genome and can be accessed via GitHub
