TE-Seq: A Transposable Element Annotation and RNA-Seq Pipeline.

Motivation: The recognition that transposable elements (TEs) play important roles in many biological processes has elicited growing interest in analyzing sequencing data derived from this 'dark genome'. This is however complicated by the highly repetitive nature of these sequences in genomes, requiring the deployment of several problem-specific tools as well as the curation of appropriate genome annotations. This pipeline aims to make the analysis of TE sequences and their expression more generally accessible.
