4 This is a Galaxy Wrapper for WindowMasker, which was created by Wilson Leung. WindowMasker is a program that can mask out highly repetitive and low complexity DNA sequences within a genome using the sequence of the genome itself.

6 The WinMask module works in two stages. During Stage 1, unit counts are collected and stored in a separate file. During Stage 2 that file is used to mask the input sequences. Usually the unit counts file is created once per genome and then used multiple times for masking.

17 Stage 2: WindowMasker reads the data generated in Stage 1 and a set of input DNA sequences to output information about masked subintervals. If "-dust true" is specified, then the corresponding algorithm of the DUST module is applied to the input sequences in addition to window based masking. When DUST module is run, the results of the DUST and WinMask modules are merged together in the output. Specifically, a base is masked if it is masked by either DUST or by WinMask.
