RNAcast - Welcome

RNAcast (RNA consensus abstract shapes technique) is an alternative to the Sankoff algorithm for multiple RNA folding.

For a family of RNA sequences, our method explicitly and independently enumerates the near-optimal abstract shape space, and predicts as the consensus an abstract shape common to all sequences, and for each sequence, the thermodyn amically best structure which has this abstract shape.

NEW: RNAcast is now part of the RNAshapes package, available for download as well as online. For using RNAcast online select "consensus shapes" from the submission page.

NOTE: This project is still under development, so feel free to contact us with comments and suggestions.
