RNAvista: a webserver to assess RNA secondary structures with non-canonical base pairs

MOTIVATION: In the study of 3D RNA structure, information about non-canonical interactions between nucleobases is increasingly important.

Sumario:MOTIVATION: In the study of 3D RNA structure, information about non-canonical interactions between nucleobases is increasingly important. Specialized databases support investigation of this issue based on experimental data, and several programs can annotate non-canonical base pairs in the RNA 3D structure. However, predicting the extended RNA secondary structure which describes both canonical and non-canonical interactions remains difficult. RESULTS: Here, we present RNAvista that allows predicting an extended RNA secondary structure from sequence or from the list enumerating canonical base pairs only. RNAvista is implemented as a publicly available webserver with user-friendly interface. It runs on all major web browsers. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: http://rnavista.cs.put.poznan.pl
