  9. The Vienna RNA Package consists of a C code library and several
  10. stand-alone programs for the prediction and comparison of RNA secondary
  11. structures. RNA secondary structure prediction through energy
  12. minimization is the most used function in the package. We provide three
  13. kinds of dynamic programming algorithms for structure prediction: the
  14. minimum free energy algorithm of (Zuker and Stiegler 1981) which yields a
  15. single optimal structure, the partition function algorithm of
  16. (McCaskill 1990) which calculates base pair probabilities in the
  17. thermodynamic ensemble, and the suboptimal folding algorithm of
  18. (Wuchty et.al 1999) which generates all suboptimal structures within a
  19. given energy range of the optimal energy. For secondary structure
  20. comparison, the package contains several measures of distance
  21. (dissimilarities) using either string alignment or tree-editing
  22. (Shapiro and Zhang 1990). Finally, we provide an algorithm to design
  23. sequences with a predefined structure (inverse folding).
