RIPCAL: a tool for alignment-based analysis of repeat-induced point mutations in fungal genomic sequences
Background: Repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a fungal-specific genome defence mechanism that alters the sequences of repetitive DNA, thereby inactivating coding genes. Repeated DNA sequences align between mating and meiosis and both sequences undergo C:G to T:A transitions. In most fungi these...
