RNA Secondary Structure Prediction Using High-throughput SHAPE
Published on: May 31, 2013
Summary:
To bridge the gap between rapid RNA sequence discovery and slow experimental characterization, we present the NuFold RNA Structure Database ( https://nufold.kiharalab.org/ ), a resource providing large-scale, precomputed full-atom RNA tertiary structures. By removing the computational barriers associated with running the method locally, this database makes high-accuracy RNA structure models readily accessible to the biological research community for a wide range of applications.
Availability And Implementation:
All predicted structures and corresponding data are available at https://nufold.kiharalab.org/ . The source code for the NuFold program is available at https://github.com/kiharalab/NuFold .
Supplementary Information:

RNA Structure
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
