 ## Description
 
-Briefly, **Teloscope** reads any assembly and decompose its parts. It uses prefix trees and sliding windows to match and count telomeric patterns efficiently. It also analyzes the informational properties of the assembly to distinguish canonical and non-canonical telomere repeats.
