ABSTRACT
The Tandem Repeat Annotation Library (TRAL) focuses on analyzing tandem repeat units in genomic sequences. TRAL can integrate and harmonize tandem repeat annotations from a large number of external tools, and provides a statistical model for evaluating and filtering the detected repeats. TRAL version 2.0 includes new features such as a module for identifying repeats from circular profile hidden Markov models, a new repeat alignment method based on the progressive Poisson Indel Process, an improved installation procedure and a docker container. TRAL is an open-source Python 3 library and is available, together with documentation and tutorials via vital-it.ch/software/tral.
