RNAshapes MFE RNA structure prediction based on abstract shapes. Shape abstraction retains adjacency and nesting of structural features, but disregards helix lengths, thus reduces the number of suboptimal solutions without losing significant information. Furthermore, shapes represent classes of structures for which probabilities based on Boltzmann-weighted energies can be computed. no source & binaries, webserver [14][15]
RNAstructure A program to predict lowest free energy structures and base pair probabilities for RNA or DNA sequences. Structure prediction can be constrained using experimental data, including SHAPE, enzymatic cleavage, and chemical modification accessibility. Graphical user interfaces are available for Windows and for Mac OS-X/Linux. Programs are also available for use with Unix-style text interfaces. Additionally, a C++ class library is available. no source & binaries

UNAFold The UNAFold software package is an integrated collection of programs that simulate folding, hybridization, and melting pathways for one or two single-stranded nucleic acid sequences. no sourcecode [22]
