Function Documentation

char* pbacktrack

(

char *

sequence

)

Sample a secondary structure from the Boltzmann ensemble according its probability
.

Precondition:

pf_fold_par() or pf_fold() have to be called first to fill the partition function matrices

Parameters:

sequence

The RNA sequence

Returns:

A sampled secondary structure in dot-bracket notation

char* pbacktrack_circ

(

char *

sequence

)

Sample a secondary structure of a circular RNA from the Boltzmann ensemble according its probability.

This function does the same as pbacktrack() but assumes the RNA molecule to be circular

\pre    pf_fold_par() or pf_fold_circ() have to be called first to fill the partition function matrices

\param  sequence  The RNA sequence
\return           A sampled secondary structure in dot-bracket notation
