UNAFold

To obtain UNAFold, you should contact RPI's Office of Intellectual Property Optimization. Based on https://ipo.rpi.edu/invention/unafold-version-40, you should send email to: innovation [at] rpi [dot] edu Michael and I have no real control over costs, timeframes, etc. I'm sorry we can't be of more h...

I apologize for not seeing this message sooner. The hybridization applications seem to be working fine now. If you haven't already, please try your job again!

May I ask when you emailed RPI?

We've been frustrated with their lack of responsiveness. I don't have much leverage I can exert, but I'll see what I can do.

I apologize for not responding to this at the time it happened. The server seems fine now (unsurprisingly).

We did have some chronic issues that we think we've resolved, so hopefully this won't happen again.

In general, if you want suboptimal structures, you use the "--mfold" option. Merely specifying it engages "mfold mode", where hybrid-ss-min (or hybrid-min or hybrid-intra-min, for that matter) generates a sample of suboptimal structures as well as an optimal one. However, --mfold...

I'm not familar with IDT's "OligoAnalyzer Tool". I didn't even know offhand that it uses UNAFold. Assuming they are, I don't know precisely which version of UNAFold they use. It could very well not be UNAFold 4, which I assume is what you have, although I wouldn't expect any differences th...

I apologize for not seeing this message sooner! The DNA parameters have not changed with UNAFold 4.0 (although the RNA parameters have). If I recall correctly, the Owczarzy data set was our primary reference when UNAFold was originally developed. I dug up what I think are those melting profiles and ...

What command(s) are you using?

I have a hunch you want to use hybrid-min instead of hybrid-ss-min.

Hi Yuki,

I killed a couple of long-running processes that I think were causing issues on the server. Performance seems good again to me.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll pester Michael again about solving the underlying problem.

I'm sorry to hear this, but I'm afraid it's out of my hands. RPI controls licensing for UNAFold, and I have no say in when or even if they respond to such a request.
