RILogo: visualizing RNA-RNA interactions
TL;DR: This work presents RILogo, a program to visualize inter- and intramolecular base pairing between two RNA molecules, and introduces two novel mutual information based measures that weigh the covariance information by the evolutionary distances of the aligned sequences.

Abstract: Summary: With the increasing amount of newly discovered non-coding RNAs, the interactions between RNA molecules become an increasingly important aspect for characterizing their functionality. Many computational tools have been developed to predict the formation of duplexes between two RNAs, either based on single sequences or alignments of homologous sequences. Here, we present RILogo ,a program to visualize inter- and intramolecular base pairing between two RNA molecules. The input for RILogo is a pair of structureannotated sequences or alignments. In the latter case, RILogo displays the alignments in the form of sequence logos, including the mutual information of base paired columns. We also introduce two novel mutual information based measures that weigh the covariance information by the evolutionary distances of the aligned sequences. We show that the new measures have an increased accuracy compared with previous mutual information measures. Availability and implementation: RILogo is freely available as a stand-alone program and is accessible via a web server at http://rth .dk/resources/rilogo.

WebLogo: A Sequence Logo Generator
TL;DR: WebLogo generates sequence logos, graphical representations of the patterns within a multiple sequence alignment that provide a richer and more precise description of sequence similarity than consensus sequences and can rapidly reveal significant features of the alignment otherwise difficult to perceive.
Comparison of the predicted and observed secondary structure of T4 phage lysozyme.
TL;DR: Although empirical predictions based on larger numbers of known protein structure tend to be more accurate than those based on a limited sample, the improvement in accuracy is not dramatic, suggesting that the accuracy of current empirical predictive methods will not be substantially increased simply by the inclusion of more data from additional protein structure determinations.
