This file contains two programs for finding repeats in genomic DNA sequences. The program described in the paper by Volfovsky et al. (2001) in the journal Genome Biology is called here RepeatFinder. A second program, designed specifically to find repeats likely to confuse a genome assembly, is called ClosureRepeatFinder. The two programs are quite different and have different purposes; RepeatFinder is intended to be the more comprehensive approach. Both are open source; note that RepeatFinder depends on Stefan Kurtz's REPuter, which used to be at http://BiBiServ.TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE/reputer/. Stefan has moved so the sofware might have moved as well. Enjoy!
