About this Class

Popular structure prediction program AlphaFold3 and its competitor Chai-1 recently added capabilities to predict 3D RNA structures straight from sequence input. In this talk, we will discuss some test cases for these programs and review useful legacy tools that split the RNA structure prediction problem into 2D and 3D steps. Select FRCE web servers and other software encapsulated in virtual machines available for download from FRCE will be presented. No prior knowledge of RNA prediction programs or servers is assumed. A familiarity with Unix shell interface is helpful. This session will be recorded, and materials will be posted on the ABCS training site and will also be shared with attendees a few days after the event.
