RNAhybrid - Manual

from the man page

RNAhybrid is a tool for finding minimum free energy hybridisations of a long (target) and a short (query) RNA. The hybridisation is performed in a kind of domain mode, ie. the short sequence is hybridised to the best fitting parts of the long one. The tool is primarily meant as a means for microRNA target prediction.

The web form of the online version of RNAhybrid offers a various number of options (shown below) to run RNAhyrbid.

target RNA :
Each of the target sequences in target_file is subjectto hybridisation with each of the queries (which either are from the query_file or is the one query given on command line; see -q below). The sequences in the target_file have to be in FASTA format, ie. one line starting with a > and directly followed by a name, then one or more following lines with the sequence itself. Each individual sequence line must not have more than 1000 characters. If no -t is given, either the last argument (if a -q is given) or the second last argument (if no -q is given) to RNAhybrid is taken as a target.

query RNA :
see target RNA description

hit per target (-b) :
Maximal number of hits to show. hit_number hits with increasing minimum free energy (reminder: larger energies are worse) are shown, unless the -e option is usedand the energy cut-off has been exceeded (see -e option below) or there are no more hits. Hits may only overlap at dangling bases (5' or 3' unpaired end of target).

compact output (-c) (optional) :
Produce compact output. For each target/query pair one line of output is generated. Each line is a colon (:) separated list of the following fields: target name, query name, minimum free energy, position in target, alignment line 1, line 2, line 3, line 4.

helix constraint (-f) (optional) :
Forces all structures to have a helix from position from to position to with respect to the query. The first base has position 1.

maximal internal loop size (-u) (optional) :
The maximally allowed number of unpaired nucleotides in either side of an internal loop.

maximal bulge loop size (-v) (optional) :
The maximally allowed number of unpaired nucleotides in either side of an internal loop.

energy cutoff (-e) (optional) :
Hits with increasing minimum free energy (reminder: larger energies are worse) less than or equal to energy_cutoff are shown, unless the -b option is used and the number of already reported hits has reached the maximal hit_number (see -b option above). Hits may only overlap at dangling bases (5' or 3' unpaired end of target).
