RepeatFinder is a bioinformatics tool designed for identifying repetitive sequences of DNA. It is a console-based software solution that makes use of specialized algorithms to find repeats in DNA sequences with high accuracy.
RepeatFinder has been developed over the course of a few years, and as such, it is very efficient in what it does. When it comes to finding repeating segments of DNA, it is unparalleled. Additionally, it ensures that no repeating segments overlap so that you can be confident that the results you obtain are accurate.
This powerful tool has been designed to compile and run on both Windows and Linux operating systems. Furthermore, the source code has been made in such a way that it requires minimal specifications. Consequently, users can compile the program with ease, and it is highly likely to work even if your operating system is none of the above. If you manage to get RepeatFinder working on any other platform, don't hesitate to share your success with the team.
Although it is still in its early stages, the RepeatFinder website promises to release more information about the algorithm used and how to navigate the command line tools. For now, users can download the first release of the software (version 1.0.0) which is available on the website. The current release includes the source code, x86, and x64 linux binaries. There is however, yet to be Windows binaries, although they are expected shortly. If you are looking for a reliable, precise tool to analyze DNA, look no further than RepeatFinder.
