RNA-RNA Interaction Prediction and Visualization

Image
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a linear polymeric molecule composed of four bases namely adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U). It is used for the prediction of various functions which include coding, decoding, regulation, and gene expression. The prediction of RNA–RNA interaction plays a major role in the study of structure folding and free energy of RNA complex molecule. This is a video tutorial for RNA-RNA interaction prediction using RactIP (RNA-RNA interACTion prediction using IP) and visualize inter and/or intramolecular base-pair interactions using VARNA (Visualization Applet for RNA) tools. The list of tools used is RactIP and VARNA .
