RNA Self Containment – Calculates the Self-Containment Index

RNA Self Containment

:: DESCRIPTION

The RNA Self Containment calculates the Self-Containment Index (SC). It measures the robustness of RNA substructures to changes in their surrounding sequence context, which we hypothesize to be a hallmark of structural modularity.
