title: RNA secondary structure analysis using the RNAshapes package.
abstract: This unit shows how to use the RNAshapes package for the prediction of the secondary structure of a single RNA sequence using either minimum free energy methods or weighted ensemble information. It also includes a protocol for the consensus prediction of a set of related sequences.
