RepeatOBserver: Tandem Repeat Visualisation and Putative Centromere Detection.

Tandem repeats play an important role in centromere structure, subtelomeric regions, DNA methylation, recombination and the regulation of gene activity. Analysis of their distribution in genomes offers a potential means for predicting putative centromere locations, which continues to be a challenge for genome annotation. Here we present RepeatOBserver (https://github.
