چکیده

Background RNA secondary structure is essential to understand the mechanism of RNAs. Method In this paper, fledFold, a novel software for RNA secondary structure prediction, is introduced. It combines both thermodynamic and kinetic factors of RNA secondary structures and can predict RNA secondary structures from their primary sequences with local personal computers. Results FledFold is implemented in C++ under Windows 7 and could run on windows 7 or later version with at least 2 GB of RAM. Fledfold is user friendly and could output results with multiple formats. Conslusion FledFold will be a valuable tool for RNA researches and it could be downloaded freely from http://www.jlucomputer.com/fledfold.php.

RNAsoft: a suite of RNA secondary structure prediction and design software tools

DNA and RNA strands are employed in novel ways in the construction of nanostructures, as molecular tags in libraries of polymers and in therapeutics. New software tools for prediction and design of molecular structure will be needed in these applications. The RNAsoft suite of programs provides tools for predicting the secondary structure of a pair of DNA or RNA molecules, testing that combinato...

Novel representation of RNA secondary structure used to improve prediction algorithms.

We propose a novel representation of RNA secondary structure for a quick comparison of different structures. Secondary structure was viewed as a set of stems and each stem was represented by two values according to its position. Using this representation, we improved the comparative sequence analysis method results and the minimum free-energy model. In the comparative sequence analysis met...

CONTRAfold: RNA secondary structure prediction without physics-based models

MOTIVATION For several decades, free energy minimization methods have been the dominant strategy for single sequence RNA secondary structure prediction. More recently, stochastic context-free grammars (SCFGs) have emerged as an alternative probabilistic methodology for modeling RNA structure. Unlike physics-based methods, which rely on thousands of experimentally-measured thermodynamic paramete...

Phylogenetic Analysis of Beta-Glucanase Producing Actinomycetes Strain TBG-CH22 - A Comparison of Conventional and Molecular Morphometric Approach

Actinomycetes are inexhaustible producers of commercially valuable metabolites, are continually screened for beneficial compounds. The taxonomic and phylogenetic study of novel actinomycetes strains are mostly based on conventional methods and primary DNA structure of 16s rRNA. Although 16s rRNA sequence is well accepted in phylogeny studies, its secondary structures have not been widely used. ...
