The current available version is GNU/Linux version.

 

unzip the file:

     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
