RNA structure prediction•Vienna RNA package:
•RNAfold predict minimum energy secondary
structures and pair probabilities
•RNAalifold predict consensus secondary
structure
•RNAeval evaluate energy of RNA secondary
structures
•RNAheat calculate the specific heat (melting
curve) of an RNA sequence
•RNAinverse inverse fold (design) sequences with
predefined structure
•RNAdistance compare secondary structures
•RNApdist compare base pair probabilities
•RNAsubopt complete suboptimal folding
RNA structure prediction• Web interface available for RNAfold, RNAalifold, RNAinverse.

• Other can be downloaded for Unix and for Windows. http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/~ivo/RNA/
RNA structure prediction• RNAfold Gives best stabilized structure (structure with minimal free energy- mfe)
• RNAfold uses a dynamic programming algorithm that exploits base pairing and thermodynamic probabilities in order to predict the most likely structures of an RNA molecule (partition function algorithm).

Mountain Plot
• A mountain plot represents a secondary structure in a plot of height versus position.
• The height m(k) is given by the number of base pairs enclosing the base at position k.
• Loops correspond to plateaus and stems correspond to slopes.
• The closer the two curves, the better defined the structure.

tRNAscana program for detection of transfer RNA genes in genomic sequencehttp://lowelab.ucsc.edu/tRNAscan-SE/
It can process very long sequences
