title: Circles: automating the comparative analysis of RNA secondary structure.
abstract: Circles is a program for inferring RNA secondary structure using maximum weight matching. The program can read in an alignment in FASTA, ClustalW, or NEXUS format, compute a maximum weight matching, and export one or more secondary structures in various file formats.
  
  
  BACKGROUND
  The program is available at no cost from http://taxonomy.zoology.gla.ac.uk/rod/circles/ and requires Windows 95/98/NT.
