Here we present a tool called iteres used for getting alignment statistics of transposable elements. A basic workflow of using this tool includes:
- Do reads alignment using bwa, generate .bam or .sam files.
- Using the .bam/.sam files generated above as input for iteres, generate TE subfamily statistics.
For paired-end sequencing data, make sure you generate the .bam/.sam in pair-end alignment mode. iteres will automatically detect paired-end or single-end alignment results.
For iteres installation, please see the Download page.

How does it work?
iteres was the sucessor of the Repeat Analysis Pipeline (RAP), also see the Nature Genetics paper: DNA hypomethylation within specific transposable element families associates with tissue-specific enhancer landscape for details about RAP. Following was the principle of iteres:
