The output of the program is a +detailed annotation of the repeats that are present in the query +sequence as well as a modified version of the query sequence in which +all the annotated repeats have been masked (default: replaced by Ns). + +Currently over 56% of human genomic sequence is identified and masked by +the program. Sequence comparisons in RepeatMasker are performed by one +of several popular search engines including: + +- nhmmer (part of 'HMMER', available on SBo) +- Cross_Match.
