X Abstract

RNAbor provides a new tool for researchers in the biological and related sciences to explore important aspects of RNA secondary structure and folding pathways. RNAbor computes statistics concerning delta-neighbors of a given input RNA sequence and structure (the structure can, for example, be the minimum free energy (MFE) structure). A delta-neighbor is a structure that differs from the input structure by exactly delta base pairs, that is, it can be obtained from the input structure by adding and/or removing exactly delta base pairs. For each distance delta RNAbor computes the density of delta-neighbors, the number of delta-neighbors, and the MFE structure, or MFE (delta) structure, among all delta-neighbors. RNAbor can be used to study possible folding pathways, to determine alternate low-energy structures, to predict potential nucleation sites and to explore structural neighbors of an intermediate, biologically active structure. The web server is available at http://bioinformatics.bc.edu/clotelab/RNAbor.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
