Free RNA analysis software with a command line interface.
RNAshapes is a powerful software that offers three RNA analysis tools in a single package. First, it can compute a small set of representative structures of different shapes that are complete in a well-defined sense. Second, it can compute accumulated shape probabilities. Finally, the software offers comparative prediction of consensus structures as an alternative to the Sankoff Algorithm that is far more computationally expensive.
RNAshapes is available as C source code and compiled binaries that can be used on Mac OS X, Unix, and Microsoft Windows-based machines. Overall, RNAshapes is an essential software tool for any biologist, bioinformatician or computational biologist working with RNA structures, thanks to its powerful analysis tools and RNA shape abstraction feature.
