docker-REPET

The REPET package in a container.

Background

The REPET package has many dependencies, including a MySQL database and the a scheduler such as the Sun Grid Engine (SGE). If you want to identify repetitive elements in a single genome, installing all of these prerequisites is quite onerous.

Instructions

Building the image

One of the important prerequisites are the RepBase libraries from girinst.org. Licencing prevents redistribution of these data, so you have to pull these in yourself when you build the image. The Dockerfile includes a step to download the libraries, but you need to supply your username and password to the wget command by changing the lines:

ENV GIRINST_USERNAME AzureDiamond
ENV GIRINST_PASSWORD hunter2

to your own username and password.

After than, you can build the image by running docker build -t repet . from the same folder as the Dockerfile.
