Partition function for Interacting RNAs
open-in-new
<p>Partition function for Interacting RNAs (piRNA) is a parallel <a href="/facts/C%2B%2B/Et0F2qn9">C++</a> package to compute joint and individual partition functions for two RNA sequences. From the partition functions, piRNA computes equilibrium concentrations of single and double species, ensemble energy, melting temperatures, and base pair probabilities. <a href="http://compbio.cs.sfu.ca/taverna">piRNA</a> is part of <a href="/facts/TaveRNA/4DyeK9t0">TaveRNA</a> RNA software suite. </p><p>piRNA algorithm has been published in <i>Bioinformatics</i> 25(12):i365-i373; <a href="/facts/Doi_(identifier)/muM9Etpq">doi</a>:<a href="https://doi.org/10.1093%2Fbioinformatics%2Fbtp212">10.1093/bioinformatics/btp212</a> <a href="/facts/PMID_(identifier)/JlHAvMHt">PMID</a> <a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19478011">19478011</a>. </p>
