Function

Description

This is a port of the Vienna RNA package program RNAeval.

It evaluates the free energy of the co-folding of two RNA strands with fixed secondary structure. Sequences and structures are read and the energy in Kcal/Mol is output.

The original program has additional inputs and produces different outputs, depending on the options selected. In the EMBASSY implementation it is split into vrnaeval and vrnaevalpair

Algorithm

See the original documentation for the Vienna RNA package http://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/~ivo/RNA/
