starfish

starfish is a modular toolkit for giant mobile element annotation. Built primarily for annotating Starship elements in fungal genomes, it can be easily adapted to find any large mobile element (≥6kb) that shares the same basic architecture as a fungal Starship or a bacterial integrative and conjugative element: a "captain" gene with zero or more "cargo" genes downstream of its 3' end. It is particularly well suited for annotating low-copy number elements in a content independent manner.
