Code used to generate data for our analysis of centromeric repeats

Centromere_repeat_paper

Code in this repository was used to generate and analyse data for our analysis of centromeric repeats, as described in this paper:

Comparative analysis of tandem repeats from hundreds of species reveals unique insights into centromere evolution Genome Biology 2013, 14:R10

Much of this code concerns fetching sequence data from the Trace Archive and processing it with TRF (tandem repeat finder).
