Is there a program for finding secondary strutural RNA elements? - finding secondary strutural RNA elements (Sep/06/2005 )
Hello anyone,
I want to find secondary strutural elements in a mfold output file.
Is their a program that can convert e.q ct-file in a list of strutural elements.
Not just a RNA struture Viewer.
Thanks.
Hi
maybe mfold software can help you :
http://www.bioinfo.rpi.edu/applications/mfold/
extract : 
Michael Zuker, professor of mathematical sciences, develops tools for predicting the secondary structure of RNA and DNA, mainly by using thermodynamic methods.

Applications:
    * RNA Folding
    * DNA Folding
    * Nucleic Acid Quikfold
          Fold many RNA or DNA sequences at once. Simple output. 
    * Zipfold server
          Minimum free energies only for many RNA or DNA sequences. 
    * Tm server
          Compute minimum folding energies and Tm only for many RNA or DNA sequences. 
    * 2-state hybridization server
          Compute free energy and Tm for the hybridization of two RNA or DNA sequences. 
    * Free Energy Determination
          Given a secondary structure, compute its free energy.
