TRAP: automated classification, quantification, and annotation of tandemly repeated sequences

Summary: TRAP, the Tandem Repeats Analysis Program, is a Perl program that provides a unified set of analyses for the selection, classification, quantification and automated annotation of tandemly repeated sequences. TRAP uses the results of the Tandem Repeats Finder program to perform a global analysis of the satellite content of DNA sequences, permitting researchers to easily assess the tandem repeat content for both individual sequences and whole genomes. The results can be generated in convenient formats such as HTML and Comma-Separated Values (CSV). TRAP can also be used to automatically generate annotation data in the format of feature table and GFF files. Availability: TRAP is available under the GNU General Public Licens
