Tandem Repeat Annotation Library

TRAL is a highly modularized, flexible sequence tandem repeats annotation Python2/3 library.

• Large scale annotation of tandem repeats with de novo detectors, and sequence profile models
• Statistical significance testing, overlap detection, and filtering of annotations
• Refinement of tandem repeat annotations with circular profile hidden Markov models
• User-defined output formats

The source code is documented on GitHub IO.
