Repeatome: a multi-omics database for repetitive DNA

Repeatome: a multi-omics database for repetitive DNA

Project description

Satellite repeats remain one of the final frontiers in understanding the genome. We employed computational and experimental methods to perform the first multi-omic profiling of all human satellite repeats, with an emphasis on repeat-binding transcription factors. The “repeatome” acts as a centralized database to catalog and visualize the multi-omic profiles of satellite repeats across species. Currently, we are focused on satellite repeats, but we hope to expand this resource to interspersed repeat elements. While www.repeatome.org is currently private, we hope to publicly release it soon with a forthcoming publication. Please reach out if you are interested in contributing!
