AniAnn's: alignment-free annotation of tandem repeat arrays using fast average nucleotide identity estimates.
Article in Bioinformatics (Oxford, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
motivationSatellite DNA has long posed challenges for genome assembly and analysis due to its low sequence complexity and poor mappability. These large heterochromatic arrays of tandem repeats are ubiquitous across eukaryotic genomes, yet remain understudied. Current methods for annotating satellite regions, and other classes of tandem repeat arrays, are limited in their ability to annotate divergent or novel sequences.
resultsIn this work, we introduce AniAnn's, an algorithm for annotating large blocks of tandemly repeating DNAs. AniAnn's exploits the high Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) shared between repeat units of the same array to quickly and accurately infer the boundaries of such arrays. We show that AniAnn's improves the annotation of satellites and other tandem repeats within a variety of plant and animal genomes, while requiring only a fraction of the runtime compared to previous approaches. We conclude by exploring several use cases of AniAnn's as a lightweight method for masking repeats prior to whole-genome alignment as well as the de novo annotation and classification of satellite repeats. AVAILABILITY: AniAnn's is open source software and available at github.com/marbl/anianns.
