ERVcaller is a tool designed to accurately detect and genotype non-reference unfixed endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) and other transposable elements (TEs) in the human genome using next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. We evaluated the tools using both simulated and real benchmark whole-genome sequencing (WGS) datasets. ERVcaller is capable to accurately detect various TE insertions of any lengths, particularly ERVs. It allows for the use of a TE reference library regardless of sequence complexity, such as the entire RepBase database. It is easy to install and use with command lines.

Hi chenxu：
Does Hydra-Version-0.5.3 is required by ERVcaller？It seem that 2.2 and 3.1 is conflicting in User Manual of ERVcaller v1.4.
It was updated, and the latest ERVcaller v1.4 do not use Hydra-Version-0.5.3. I will remove it from section 3.1 in the User Manual
