title: Computational analysis of transposable element sequences.
abstract: This chapter provides a simple guide for the computational analysis of transposable element (TE) sequences. Web links are provided for a number of sequence analysis applications, and their potential use in the analysis of TE sequences is briefly described. The level of detail provided is intended to be sufficient for a naive user to begin to analyze TE sequences in silico. The emphasis is placed on the identification, retrieval and manipulation of TE sequences. Information is also provided on the evolutionary study of TE sequences including the use phylogenetics programs.
