MGERT: a pipeline to retrieve coding sequences of mobile genetic elements from genome assemblies

Genomes of eukaryotes are inhabited by myriads of mobile genetic elements (MGEs) - transposons and retrotransposons - which play a great role in genome plasticity and evolution. A lot of computational tools were developed to annotate them either in genomic assemblies or raw reads using de novo or homology-based approaches. But there has been no pipeline enabling users to get coding and flanking sequences of MGEs suitable for a downstream...
