Program Description: |
COVE is a program to perform RNA sequence/structure analysis.
COVE evaluates covariance models of RNA sequence and structure. RNA covariance
models are full probabilistic models which describe the primary sequence and
secondary structure consensus of an RNA family.
They can be used for the following analysis tasks:
- secondary structure-based multiple sequence alignment
- consensus secondary structure prediction
- secondary structure-based database searching
COVE is an implementation of the algorithms described by Sean Eddy and
Richard Durbin in "RNA Sequence Analysis Using Covariance
Models", Nucl. Acids Res. 22:2079-2088, 1994.
