RNAparconv 2.6.4

Convert energy parameter files from ViennaRNA 1.8.4 to 2.0 format

Converts energy parameter files from "old" ViennaRNAPackage 1.8.4 format to the new format used since ViennaRNAPackage 2.0. The Program reads a valid energy parameter file or valid energy parameters from stdin and prints the converted energy parameters to stdout or a specified output file. Per default, the converted output file contains the whole set of energy parameters used throughout ViennaRNAPackage 1.8.4. The user can specify sets of energy parameters that should not be included in the output.

Command line options for input and output (pre-)processing
Specify an input file name. If argument is missing the energy parameter input can be supplied via 'stdin'.
Specify an output file name. If argument is missing the converted energy parameters are printed to 'stdout'.
Print just as much as needed to represent the given energy parameters data set. This option overrides all other output settings!
(default=off)
Just dump Vienna 1.8.4 energy parameters in format used since 2.0. This option skips any energy parameter input!
(default=off)
Print just energy parameters and appropriate comment lines but suppress all other output
(default=off)
Do not print converted hairpin energies and enthalpies
(default=off)
Do not print converted stacking energies and enthalpies
(default=off)
Do not print converted interior loop energies, enthalpies and asymetry factors
(default=off)
Do not print converted bulge loop energies and enthalpies
(default=off)
Do not print converted multi loop energies and enthalpies

If in doubt our program is right, nature is at fault. Comments should be sent to rna@tbi.univie.ac.at.
