Good RNA folding tools
Does anybody knows a good tool for predicting RNA secondary structure of 160,074 RNA sequences (most about 300 bps long), other than Vienna RNAfold? Even better if the tools is available in a web-server that can support batch queries.

RNAstructure is another alternative:
CentroidFold is another:
If you have that many sequences, you're better off downloading the command-line versions and running the jobs on a cluster. -
Single sequence structure prediction is extremely unreliable (https://bmcbioinformatics.biomedcent...471-2105-5-140). You're better of building alignments and folding those with e.g. RNAalifold. R-scape will tell you if you there is significant covariation.
I hear CONTRAfold is reasonably accurate, if you must fold single sequences.Comment

Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
