L1Xplorer
Detection and Annotation of Full-Length, Intact L1 Elements
 

What is L1Xplorer?

L1Xplorer is a web-frontend to the perl suite we developed to automatically detect and annotate L1s. Here you can paste your sequence and see if there are full-length, intact L1s present and see the classification features that can be found on them. Although this system works to an extent with scattered LINE-1s, the reliable results will be found with almost full-length L1s. To look for pieces of L1s we recommend www.repeatmasker.org.

If you are experimentalists and you seek a bioinformatics expertise on analysis of LINE-1 elements, do not hesitate to send us an email!

If you are using L1Xplorer for your research please cite L1Base: from functional annotation to prediction of active LINE-1 elements Nucl. Acids Res. 2004 33: D498-D500; doi:10.1093/nar/gki044

Intactness Score
  
  


Filtering options
 
Those filters (if active) are applied during detection process:
  • % of coverage of ORF1 and must not have frameshifts/stopcodons
  • % of coverage of ORF2 and must not have frameshifts/stopcodons

 

  


Advanced Options

 


  • Maximal evalue for a HSP to be included:
  • coverage of query sequence: %
  • HSP distance to cluster unconditionally:
    maximum HSP distance to cluster conditionally:
    with max angle of deg. and min angle of deg. (more info...)
  • minimal TFASTX score for detected ORF:
  • Extend locus:
    do not extend
    based on relative position of locus (extend up to borders of query sequence plus values given below)
    based on absolute borders of L1 hit locus (extend blindly by values given below)
    by nt on 5' border and nt on 3' border
