Description of the Censor attributes.

AttributeDescription

NameColumn Name contains locus names of submitted query sequences (first column) and Repbase library sequences (fourth column). Repbase names are hyperlinked to their sequences.
From/ToColumn From/To contains beginning/ending of positions of fragment on corresponding sequence.
ClassThis is class/subclass of repeat as specified in repeat annotation.
DirValues in column Dir indicate orientation (“d” for direct and “c” for complementary) of repeat fragment—columns 4–6.
SimColumn Sim contains value of similarity between 2 aligned fragments.
PosColumn Pos is roughly the ratio of positives to alignment length.
Mn : TsColumn Mm : Ts is a ratio of mismatches to transitions in nucleotide alignment. The closer this number is to 1 the more likely is that mutations are evolutionary.
ScoreThis column contains the alignment score obtained from blast.
