| Description | tantan is a tool to find cryptic repeats (low complexity and short-period tandem repeats) in DNA, RNA, and protein sequences.The aim of tantan is to prevent false predictions when searching for homologous regions between two sequences. You can get it from the archive page(cited from the original site). |
