: an integrated RNA analysis package based on abstract shapes [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Summary: We introduce RNAshapes, a new software package that integrates three RNA analysis tools based on the abstract shapes approach: the analysis of shape representatives, the calculation of shape probabilities and the consensus shapes approach. This new package is completely reimplemented in C and outruns the original implementations significantly in runtime and memory requirements. Additionally, we added a number of useful features like suboptimal folding with correct dangling energies, structure graph output, shape matching and a sliding window approach. Availability: RNAshapes is freely available at http://bibiserv.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/rnashapes/ as C source code, and as compiled binaries for the most common computer architectures. For Microsoft Windows, we also offer a graphical user interface with convenient access to the complete functionality of the package. Contact: psteffen@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de
