What RNAdistance Does

RNAdistance compares RNA secondary structures using the selected upstream ViennaRNA distance representation and compare mode.

Inputs

  • Provide two dot-bracket structures.

Settings

  • Distance: upstream distance representation string.
  • Compare mode: upstream comparison mode.
  • Write backtrack output: request backtrack output as a downloadable file.

Output

The results table reports:

  • structure identifiers
  • requested distance code
  • compare mode
  • reported distance value

If backtrack output is enabled, the generated file appears in the Files tab.
