Description

TE package for analyzing insertion/deletion dynamics for transposable elements

Details

Provides functions to estimate the insertion and deletion rates of transposable element (TE) families. The estimation of insertion rate consists of an improved estimate of the age distribution that takes into account random mutations, and an adjustment by the deletion rate. This package includes functions EstDynamics and EstDynamics2 for analyzing the TE divergence, and visualization functions such as PlotFamilies and SensitivityPlot. This package implements the methods proposed in Dai et al (2018+).
