Annotation of inverted repeats displaying features of pble STIR or IR in the hg38 genome model

Annotation of inverted repeats displaying features of pble STIR or IR in the hg38 genome model. The annotation of pble-like inner inverted repeats was done using Palindrome (EMBOSS package). The output file was then filtered using pal2gff (https://github.com/Leelouh/pal2gff/blob/main/pal2gff.py), using as parameters a repeat size between 5 and 15 nucleotides, a spacer between pairs of inverted repeats (IRs) of 2 to 10 nucleotides, and a number of mismatches within repeats ranging from 0 to 1. These parameters were chosen taking into account those of the inner IRs found at ends of invertebrate pbles.
