Explanation

This type of algorithm requires the user to provide a pairwise or multiple alignment as input. The sequence alignment can be obtained using standard alignment programs, such as T-Coffee, PRRN, or Clustal. RNAalifold is a program in the Vienna package. It uses a multiple sequence alignment as input to analyse covariation patterns on the sequences.
