Program Description: |
KNetFold is a new software for predicting the consensus secondary structure for
a given alignment of RNA sequences. It uses an innovative classifier system (a
hierarchical network of k-nearest neighbor classifiers) to compute for each pair
of alignment positions a "base pair" or "no base pair" prediction. In a recent
publication it was shown that for a test set of 49 RFAM alignments, the
performance of the method is higher compared to the programs PFOLD and
RNAalifold. The method is also able to predict pseudoknots. |
