- The Vienna RNA Package consists of a C code library and several
- stand-alone programs for the prediction and comparison of RNA secondary
- structures. 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).
