Selecting sequences for prediction

To start the Predict Secondary Structure tool, go to:

        Tools | RNA Structure (Image rna_folder)| Predict Secondary Structure (Image rna_secondary_structure)

This opens the dialog shown in figure 24.1.

Figure 24.1: Selecting RNA or DNA sequences for structure prediction (DNA is folded as if it was RNA).

If you have selected sequences before running the tool, those sequences will be listed in the Selected Elements pane 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.
