RNA secondary structure prediction through energy + minimization is the most used function in the package. We provide three + kinds of dynamic programming algorithms for structure prediction: the + minimum free energy algorithm of (Zuker and Stiegler 1981) which yields a + single optimal structure, the partition function algorithm of + (McCaskill 1990) which calculates base pair probabilities in the + thermodynamic ensemble, and the suboptimal folding algorithm of + (Wuchty et.al 1999) which generates all suboptimal structures within a + given energy range of the optimal energy. For secondary structure + comparison, the package contains several measures of distance + (dissimilarities) using either string alignment or tree-editing + (Shapiro and Zhang 1990). Finally, we provide an algorithm to design + sequences with a predefined structure (inverse folding). +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
