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

The immune system’s power comes from its genetic diversity, allowing myriad threats to be neutralized through first recognizing foreign antigens. That diversity is also what makes the immune system so difficult to study. Recent advances in sequencing technology and computational biology, however, are giving researchers new tools to understand immune responses and immune-related diseases in greater detail.
