RNALogo -- a new approach to display structural RNA alignment
What you can do:
Create a graphical representation of the patterns in a multiple RNA sequence alignment with a consensus structure.
Highlights:
- The RNALogo graph can indicate significant features within an RNA sequence alignment and its consensus RNA secondary structure.
- RNALogo extends Sequence logos, and specifically incorporates RNA secondary structures and mutual information of base-paired regions into the graphical representation.
- Each RNALogo graph is composed of stacks of letters, with one stack for each position in the consensus RNA secondary structure.
- RNALogo provides a convenient and high configurable logo generator.
- An RNALogo graph is generated for each RNA family in Rfam, and these generated logos are accumulated into a gallery of RNALogo.
- Users can search or browse RNALogo graphs in this gallery to receive additional perspectives of known RNA families.
