Fasta file of repeats to mask

Question

[tshittu]

Hello, I am new to RepeatMasker and I need help. I will like to use the software to identify the repeat sequences in the genome of a fungus isolate that I am currently working on. Can someone talk me through on how to build a repeat database or what database can I set on my command line to run the genome data? I look forward to your response, please.

This is a valid question and indeed certainly a matter that is not straightforward.

however, you show very little effort, as this question has repeatdly been asked before on this forum. Moreover, there are even excellent tutorial post available on this specific topic.

Here is a good one as a good starting point: Create de novo repeat library (thx to Juke-34 )
