Detection of transposable elements by their compositional bias

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transposable elements (TE) are mobile genetic entities present in nearly all genomes. Previous work has shown that TEs tend to have a different nucleotide composition than the host genes, either considering codon usage bias or dinucl...
