void unexpand_aligned_F(char *align[2])

#include <ViennaRNA/RNAstruct.h>

Converts two aligned structures in expanded notation.

void parse_structure(const char *structure)

#include <ViennaRNA/RNAstruct.h>

Collects a statistic of structure elements of the full structure in bracket notation.

The function writes to the following global variables: loop_size, loop_degree, helix_size, loops, pairs, unpaired

structure –

char *pack_structure(const char *struc)

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>

Pack secondary secondary structure, 5:1 compression using base 3 encoding.

Returns a binary string encoding of the secondary structure using a 5:1 compression scheme. The string is NULL terminated and can therefore be used with standard string functions such as strcmp(). Useful for programs that need to keep many structures in memory.

Deprecated:: Use vrna_db_pack() as a replacement

Parameters:

struc – The secondary structure in dot-bracket notation

Returns:

The binary encoded structure

char *unpack_structure(const char *packed)

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>

Unpack secondary structure previously packed with pack_structure()

Translate a compressed binary string produced by pack_structure() back into the familiar dot-bracket notation.

Deprecated:: Use vrna_db_unpack() as a replacement

Parameters:

packed – The binary encoded packed secondary structure

Returns:

The unpacked secondary structure in dot-bracket notation

short *make_pair_table(const char *structure)

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>

Create a pair table of a secondary structure.

Returns a newly allocated table, such that table[i]=j if (i.j) pair or 0 if i is unpaired, table[0] contains the length of the structure.

Deprecated:: Use vrna_ptable() instead

Parameters:

structure – The secondary structure in dot-bracket notation

Returns:

A pointer to the created pair_table

short *copy_pair_table(const short *pt)

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>

Get an exact copy of a pair table.

Deprecated:: Use vrna_ptable_copy() instead

Parameters:

pt – The pair table to be copied

Returns:

A pointer to the copy of ‘pt’

short *alimake_pair_table(const char *structure)

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>

short *make_pair_table_snoop(const char *structure)

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>

returns a newly allocated table, such that: table[i]=j if (i.j) pair or 0 if i is unpaired, table[0] contains the length of the structure. The special pseudoknotted H/ACA-mRNA structure is taken into account.

Deprecated:: Use vrna_pt_snoop_get() instead!

int bp_distance(const char *str1, const char *str2)

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>

Compute the “base pair” distance between two secondary structures s1 and s2.

The sequences should have the same length. dist = number of base pairs in one structure but not in the other same as edit distance with open-pair close-pair as move-set

Deprecated:: Use vrna_bp_distance instead

Parameters:

str1 – First structure in dot-bracket notation
str2 – Second structure in dot-bracket notation

Returns:

The base pair distance between str1 and str2

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>

Make a reference base pair distance matrix.

Get an upper triangular matrix containing the base pair distance of two reference structures for each interval [i,j] with i<j. Access it via iindx!!!

Deprecated:: Use vrna_refBPdist_matrix() instead

void parenthesis_structure(char *structure, vrna_bp_stack_t *bp, int length)

#include <ViennaRNA/utils/structures.h>
