Rnall V1.1 Manual

Install

gunzip Rnall.tar.Z

tar -xvf Rnall.tar

Commands

Running command:

./Rnall -i filename -o outputfilename -g/-m [-f] [-t] [-c] [-w 30] [-e -5] [-s 10] [-l 3] [-u 3] [-h -11.7]
-i input file. the input file should be in the Fasta format
-o output file for predicted RNA local secondary structure
-g for scanning a single genome in the Fasta format
-m for multiple sequences in the Fasta format
-f with non-overlapping structure prediction
-w sliding window size (default 30)
-e energy threshold in the unit of Kcal/mol (default = -5)
-s symmetric mapping score threshold (default = 10)
-l initial hairpin loop size (default = 3)
-u T weight calculation (default = 3)
-h hybridization energy calculation (default = -11.7)
-t terminator prediction
-c output ct file for the predicted structure

Example1:

test.fasta

command: ./Rnall -i filename -o outputfilename -f -w 20 -e -5

output: test.out

Example2:

NC_000908.fasta

command: ./Rnall -i filename -o outputfilename -g -f -w 20 -e -5

output: mg.out

Example 3 (terminator prediction)

terminator129.fasta

command: ./Rnall -i filename -o outputfilename -m -f -t -c -w 30 -e -7.8 -u 3 -h -11.7

output: terminator129.out
