RNAcompete / RNAcompete-S
:: DESCRIPTION
RNAcompete is a method for the systematic analysis of RNA binding specificities that uses a single binding reaction to determine the relative preferences of RBPs for short RNAs that contain a complete range of k-mers in structured and unstructured RNA contexts.
RNAcompete-S couples a single-step competitive binding reaction with an excess of random RNA 40-mers to a custom computational pipeline for interrogation of the bound RNA sequences and derivation of SSMs (Sequence and Structure Models).
rnascan is a (mostly) Python suite to scan RNA sequences and secondary structures with sequence and secondary structure PFMs. Secondary structure is represented as weights in different secondary structure contexts, similar to how a PFM represents weights of different nucleotides or amino acids.
