...It uses approximate string matching technique and protein domain analysis to detect intact LTR retrotransposons. In addition, it identifies partially deleted or solo LTRs using profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs).
MGEScan-non-LTR is a software for the identification of non-LTR retrotransposons in genomic sequences, following a computational approach inspired by a generalized hidden Markov model (GHMM).
