Not very nice logo, but the first author insisted on it. The last author thinks it could be much better. Or the pure text instead.

RNAProbe - a web server for normalization and analysis of RNA structure probing data. You can take a (quick) NAP, while we analyze your data :)

Analysis mode:

Normalization, prediction of secondary structure and visualization of SHAPE experiment [1] [2] results after QuShape analysis. The pipeline involves the standard normalization protocol [3], and allows for prediction and visualization of studied RNA secondary structure. The SHAPE-directed predictions are generated by RNAfold [4] and ShapeKnots [5].

Examples:

Adenine riboswitch without ligand, single QuShape analysis:

Adenine riboswitch with a ligand (adenine), single QuShape analysis:

Adenine riboswitch, multiple QuShape analysis files, mean calculated from all repetitions:

Adenine riboswitch with the use of user-provided, normalized reactivities:
