What is ModeRNA

ModeRNA is a program for comparative modeling of RNA 3D structures. It requires a pairwise sequence alignment and a structural template to generate a 3D structural model of the target RNA sequence via either a fully automated or script-based approaches. ModeRNA is capable of handling 115 different nucleotide modifications and bridging gaps using fragments derived from an extensive fragment library.

Apart from that, ModeRNA offers a multitude of functions to examine and modify RNA structure files. ModeRNA can be integrated into other programs via Python scripting.
