we have estimated repeat content in our amaranth crop as 40 %. i have validated the same in wet lab using Cot Analysis and i found it around 13 %. Is there any other way to estimate repeat content experimentally?
In every genome, there is a specific part of repeat content i.e, tandem repeats, transposons etc. There are several tools to predict repeat content in any genome. but same has to be validated in wet lab as well. so C0t Anaysis is one experiment for repeat content estimation of genome. I would like to know is there any other experiment for validation of percentage of repeat in any genome.
