R-scape - RNA Structural Covariation Above Phylogenetic Expectation http://eddylab.org/R-scape/


R-scape looks for evidence of a conserved RNA structure by measuring pairwise covariations observed in an input multiple sequence alignment. It analyzes all possible pairs, including those in your proposed structure (if you provide one). R-scape uses a null hypothesis that takes phylogenetic correlations and base composition biases into account, which can be sources of apparent pairwise covariation that are not due to conserved RNA structure. R-scape also estimates the statistical power to detect a significantly covarying base pair when that much variation is present. R-scape can calculate a structure based on the observed covariations using the CaCoFold algorithm.
