The repetitive structure of genomic DNA holds many secrets to be discovered. A systematic study of repetitive DNA on a genomic or inter-genomic scale requires extensive algorithmic support. The REPuter program was designed to serve as a fundamental tool in such studies. Efficient and complete detection of various types of repeats is provided together with an evaluation of significance and interactive visualization.

The website provides a partly limited online version of REPuter. The uploaded data size is hard limited to 5 Mb and a maximum of 5000 repeats is calculated due our server capacity. There is a standalone version of REPuter available for Linux, OSX, Solaris, Irix and Alpha. If you are interested to obtain a standalone version, please download the license agreement and follow the instructions.
