RAREFAN: A webservice to identify REPINs and RAYTs in bacterial genomes

Compared to eukaryotes, repetitive sequences are rare in bacterial genomes and usually do not persist for long. Yet, there is at least one class of persistent prokaryotic mobile genetic elements: REPINs. REPINs are non-autonomous transposable elements replicated by single-copy transposases called RA...
