Parameter

Value

Description

Minrepeat

16

Minimum length of a repeat.

Maxrepeat

64

Maximum length of a repeat.

Minspacer

8

Minimum spacer length.

Minarray

3

Minimum number of repeats in an array/cassette.

Maxspacer

64

Maximum spacer length.

Minrepeat ratio

0,9

Repeat length ratio

Minspacer ratio

0,75

Spacer length ratio

Mincons

0,9

A run of minarray repeats with at least mincons similarity is required for an array to be reported. The value is specified as fractional identity 0.0… 1.0, with 1.0 meaning identical sequences.
