Hi Nemanja, You will want to look at the tracks in the "Variation and Repeats" section of the human genome browser:
http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTracks?org=Human&db=hg19 (Variation and Repeats is at the bottom of the page.) Specifically, you will want to look at one or more of these tracks: RepeatMasker Interrupted Rpts Simple Repeats Microsatellite Click on the blue track name to read more about where the data for each track came from. You can see how much of the genome a particular track covers using the Table Browser (hit "Tables" in the blue bar at the top of the page). Select the track and table in the Table Browser, make sure "region: genome" is selected, and then hit the "summary/statistics" button at the bottom of the page. For the RepeatMasker track, you will likely want to add a filter so that only particular kinds of repeats are included before hitting "summary/statistics". If you are unfamiliar with the Table Browser, see: http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/help/hgTablesHelp.html http://www.openhelix.com//cgi/tutorialInfo.cgi?id=28 If you have further questions, please feel free to contact us again at [email protected]. -- Brooke Rhead UCSC Genome Bioinformatics Group On 04/20/11 16:56, Nemanja Rodic wrote: > Hello: > > Where can I find information of percentage of repetitive DNA in human > genome relative to total DNA. For instance, what percentage of total DNA is occupied by minisatellite DNA? Also, what percentage by transposable DNA?
