Wondering if anyone knows of any tools that can detect likely recombinogenic sequences within an operon/genbank?
For example, by eye, when we look at an operon we study, we can identify a highly recombinant 3' end. On closer inspection we see that it contains IS elements/transposons as well as inverted repeats and so on.
Are there any tools which can identify some or all of these things (the inverted repeats in particular) in a robust/systematic way so that we aren't doing it by eye?
