How to Use RNAfold | ViennaRNA

Commercially Available Online Web Server

Predict RNA minimum-free-energy structures and optional base-pair probabilities.

Predict RNA minimum-free-energy structures and optional base-pair probabilities. Upload or paste the appropriate RNA input, adjust the advanced settings if needed, and inspect the returned table and available visualizations.

How RNAfold | ViennaRNA Works

The minimum-free-energy calculation predicts one secondary structure from an RNA sequence. Optional partition-function analysis estimates the ensemble frequency of that fold and base-pair probabilities. These are model predictions that depend on temperature, salt, and energy parameters.

What is Neurosnap?

Neurosnap is the leading platform for bioinformatics and computational science focused on expanding access to powerful modeling and simulation tools. Because many state-of-the-art machine learning systems remain complex to install, configure, and scale, Neurosnap offers a clean, browser-based workspace that removes the burden of infrastructure management, dependency conflicts, and command-line tooling.

Built for biologists, chemists, and cross-disciplinary scientists, the platform enables advanced computational workflows without requiring expertise in software engineering or cloud architecture. Researchers can launch analyses through an intuitive interface, connect programmatically through a comprehensive API, and rely on automated resource management to scale workloads efficiently. By taking care of the underlying compute and operational complexity, Neurosnap allows teams to devote their energy to scientific progress and faster iteration. Security and data protection remain foundational principles, with clear safeguards outlined in our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy to ensure your work stays protected.
