The Input File Format

RNA sequences come in a variety of formats. The sequence format used throughout the ViennaRNA Package is very simple. An sequence file contains one or more sequences. Each sequence must appear as a single line in the file without embedded white spaces. A sequence may be preceded by a special line starting with the `>' character followed by a sequence name. This name will be used by the programs in the ViennaRNA Package as basename for the PostScript output files for this sequence. Note that this is almost the fasta sequence format, except that no line-breaks are allowed within a sequence while the header line is optional. Following programs provide full fasta support: RNAfold, RNAsubopt, RNAcofold, RNAKplex, RNALfold, RNAplfold, RNAeval, RNAplot, RNAheat
