It is useful to mask repeat elements within the assembly of a newly sequenced genome for tasks such as gene-finding, but also for the purpose of understanding evolution of repetitive elements. To do this, one must first construct a library of the repeat elements in the genome. We present a protocol for creating a comprehensive repeat library for the genome of a newly sequenced parasitic worm, based on merging repeat libraries made by RepeatModeler, TransposonPSI and LTRharvest.
