trRosettaRNA

  Available secondary structure formats

The trRosettaRNA server now supports using a secondary structure (SS) as input. Available formats for the input SS are:

  Dot-bracket notation format

The dot-bracket notation, as an most commonly used format, denotes base pairs by matching pairs of parenthesis () and unpaired nucleotides by dots .. For enhanced flexibility, the trRosettaRNA server accepts extended secondary structure notation. In addition to standard dot-bracket (), it supports other paired bracket types ([], {}, <>) and letter pairs (e.g., Aa, Bb) to denote base pairs. Furthermore, unpaired nucleotides can be represented by various symbols, including ., ,, _, :, and -.

See an example:
(((((.((.(((.....(((((.....)))))....))).).).)))))

  CT(Connectivity Table) format

A CT (Connectivity Table) file contains secondary structure information for a sequence. These files are saved with a CT extension. When submitting a CT file into trRosettaRNA server, the following format must be followed.

  Start of first line: number of bases in the sequence
  End of first line: title of the structure
  Each of the following lines provides information about a given base in the sequence. Each base has its own line, with these elements in order:
        1. Base number: index n
        2. Base (A, C, G, T, U, N)
        3. Index n-1
        4. Index n+1
        5. Number of the base to which n is paired. No pairing is indicated by 0.
        6. Natural numbering (just repeat n here for convenience).
