Function

Description

This is a port of the Vienna RNA package program RNAsubopt.

It reads RNA sequences and calculates all suboptimal secondary structures within a user-defined energy range above the minimum free energy (mfe). It prints the suboptimal structures in bracket notation followed by the energy in kcal/mol to stdout.

Optionally, it will produce Boltzmann weighted samples of secondary structures.
