Annotation of inverted repeats displaying features of pble STIR or IR in the hg38 genome model

<p>Annotation of inverted repeats displaying features of pble STIR or IR in the hg38 genome model. The annotation of <em>pble</em>-like inner inverted repeats was done using Palindrome (EMBOSS package). The output file was then filtered using pal2gff (https://github.com/Leelouh/pal2gff/blob/main/pal2gff.py), using as parameters a repeat size between 5 and 15 nucleotides, a spacer between pairs of inverted repeats (IRs) of 2 to 10 nucleotides, and a number of mismatches within repeats ranging from 0 to 1. These parameters were chosen taking into account those of the inner IRs found at ends of invertebrate pbles.</p>
