Hi Mike,
Thank you very much! It's working great. I obtained the list of scattered repeats with their positions, length, and distance between the repeats (minimum repeat length = 6bp, repeats identity = 100%, minimum distance between repeats = 1bp) . I have one quick question. For example, in case of
1. repeat unit, join(2..9, 1625..1632 )
2. repeat unit, join(3..10, 1995..2002)
3. repeat unit, join(3..9, 1806..1812)
4. repeat unit, join(3..8, 1488..1493)
Those 4 query repeats overlap, however, their target repeats do not overlap at all. Is this because in case of overlapping/nested query repeats, only non-overlapping target repeats are counted? I read the repeat finder plugin section on the instruction page but was not sure. Thanks a lot!
Greetings,
Sunny

Hi Sunny Bao,
Here is a description of one of the possible solutions for your:
1) Open your sequence in UGENE( http://ugene.unipro.ru ). Just run
UGENE and use "Open" button or menu.
2) Select "Actions->Analyze->Find repeats" from the main menu
3) Select the repeats parameters: size/identity/distance etc...
4) Push start button and see the repeated regions as annotations
(highlighted regions) to the sequence.
Hope it helps,
Mike.
