title: Computer program for prediction of the optimal and suboptimal secondary structures of long RNA molecules.
abstract: We present an algorithm for prediction of RNA secondary structures. The program consists of three parts: the first computes location and free energy of every possible stem-loop structure, the second computes probability of its formation, and the third lists the positions and free energies of all the stem-loops in the order of their probability sizes. The circular RNA molecule of chrysanthemum stunt viroid was used as an input data for demonstrating the operation of the program.
