RNArobo

An RNA structural motif searching tool. RNArobo can search sequence databases in FASTA format for a motif defined by a "descriptor", which can specify primary and secondary structure constraints.

Compile RNArobo:

  • tar -zxf rnarobo-2.1.0.tar.gz
  • cd rnarobo-2.1.0/
  • make

Run RNArobo by the command:

./rnarobo [options] <descriptor-file> <sequence-file>
e.g.: ./rnarobo -cu motif.des db.fa > occurrences.txt

Available RNArobo Options:

-c      search both strands of the database
-u      report only non-overlapping occurrences
-f      print output in plain FASTA format
-s      print output in FASTA format with element separators
--nratio FLOAT  set max allowed ratio of “N”s in reported occurrences to their length; must be within <0,1>
