Aggregating reads for repeat type enrichment estimation. To increase the accuracy, the enrichment estimate combines reads mapping to the canonical repeat sequence and reads mapping to the body or boundaries of the repeat instances incorporated into the genome assembly. The calculation utilizes reads that align to multiple positions in the genome, if all such positions belong to the instances of the same repeat type. Reads aligning to more than one repeat type are excluded.
