RDfolder: a web server for prediction of RNA secondary structure.
Prediction of RNA secondary structure is important in the functional analysis of RNA molecules. The RDfolder web server described in this paper provides two methods for prediction of RNA secondary structure: random stacking of helical regions and helical regions distribution. The random stacking method predicts secondary structure by Monte Carlo simulations. The method of helical regions distribution predicts secondary structure based on the helices that appear most frequently in the set of structures, which are generated by the random stacking method. The RDfolder web server can be accessed at http://rna.cbi.pku.edu.cn.
