Description of the job

pseudoknots

This example demonstrates CARNA's capability to align RNA with pseudoknots. In this example, we provide fixed input structures with pseudoknots. Thereby, we demonstrate the syntax of constraint annotation in the fasta file. In the output of this example correct alignment of the pseudoknots is best seen from our conservation consensus dot plot representation. Please note that the consensus structure in the shown alignment (Alignment annotated with pseudoknot-free consensus structure) does not show the pseudoknot because this consensus structure is generated by RNAalifold from the CARNA alignment. RNAalifold was not designed to predict pseudoknots. Since we provide fixed structures in this example, it runs with default settings. To predict pseudoknots from ensembles, one has to explicitly predict the ensemble dot plots with pseudoknots. This is supported via a tool from NUPACK. Due to the hardness of pseudoknot folding, this will work for only comparably simple pseudoknots as described by Dirks and Pierce (J Comput Chem, 2004).

Color Legend

The lower left triangle of the dot plots contains the average dot plot colored with variance information. Pure green means maximum variance (e.g. in half of the sequences the dot has probability 0 and in the other half it has probability 1); pure red means no variance at all (the dot has the same probability in all sequences).

Color Legend

Color legend
Compatible base pairs are colored, where the hue shows the number of different types C-G, G-C, A-U, U-A, G-U or U-G of compatible base pairs in the corresponding columns. In this way the hue shows sequence conservation of the base pair. The saturation decreases with the number of incompatible base pairs. Thus, it indicates the structural conservation of the base pair.
