v3.0.0
New Features:
- faster due to seed-extension prediction strategy (
--model=X
) - IntaRNA comes with multiple personalities, i.e. pre-defined parameter sets
- IntaRNA = IntaRNA3 = default parameters
- IntaRNAexact : exact prediction (similar to but faster as RNAup)
- IntaRNAhelix : helix-block-based RNA-RNA interaction prediction
- IntaRNAduplex : hybrid-only predictions without accessibility consideration
- IntaRNA1 and IntaRNA2 : emulating prediction behaviour of previous versions
- ensemble-based RNA-RNA interaction prediction enabled
- enables the CSV output columns
Eall, Zall, P_E
that are (for all considered interactions) the overall ensemble energy, overall partition function and the interaction probability for the current interaction (i.e. line)
- enables the CSV output columns
- new
--mode=S
for seed-only predictions - CSV output can be sorted by a user-defined column via
--outCsvSort=...
- optional exclusion of lonely base pairs via
--outNoLP
(not yet implemented for all prediction modi and models but in progress) - load pre-set parameters from file via
--parameterFile
- optional exclusion of GU base pairs in seed via
--seedNoGU
- report of all putative seeds (disabled by
--outBestSeedOnly
) sorted by stability (energy) in detailed output mode - highlighting of all seed-covered base pairs in text-based output mode
- energy computation now integer-based to avoid floating-point-related traceback issues
- IntaRNA v1 output support not continued
Interface Changes
- new default value 8 (was 16) for
--tIntLoopLen
and--qIntLoopLen
, which reduces the maximal interior loop length to at most 8 unpaired bases between two base pairs (per RNA) - model=B (replaces L) for helix-block-based prediction
- marker "NAN" for not available values in CSV output
- in detailed output mode:
- index ranges without whitespaces, i.e. "1--5" instead of "1 -- 5"
- gaped loop positions now represented by '-' in
Minor Changes
- support for multi-precision Z (via GNU quadmath library)
Webserver:
IntaRNA is also available for ad hoc use (with limited parameterization but extended input/output features) at the Freiburg RNA tools webserver.
