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.
