Selecting sequences for prediction

Secondary structure prediction can be accessed in the Toolbox:

        Toolbox | Classical Sequence Analysis (Image gene_and_protein_analysis) | RNA Structure (Image rna_folder)| Predict Secondary Structure (Image rna_secondary_structure)

This opens the dialog shown in figure 22.1.

If you have selected sequences before choosing the Toolbox action, they are now listed in the Selected Elements window of the dialog. Use the arrows to add or remove sequences or sequence lists from the selected elements. You can use both DNA and RNA sequences - DNA will be folded as if it were RNA. Click Next to adjust secondary structure prediction parameters. Clicking Next opens the dialog shown in figure 22.2.
