Recent development of transcriptome-wide RNA structure profiling through the application of structure-probing enzymes or chemicals combined with high-throughput sequencing has opened a new field that greatly expands the amount of in\u00a0vitro and in\u00a0vivo RNA structural information available. The resultant datasets provide the opportunity to investigate RNA structural information on a global scale. However, the analysis of high-throughput RNA structure profiling data requires considerable computational effort and expertise.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We present a new platform, StructureFold, that provides an integrated computational solution designed specifically for large-scale RNA structure mapping and reconstruction across any transcriptome. StructureFold automates the processing and analysis of raw high-throughput RNA structure profiling data, allowing the seamless incorporation of wet-bench structural information from chemical probes and\/or ribonucleases to restrain RNA secondary structure prediction via the RNAstructure and ViennaRNA package algorithms. StructureFold performs reads mapping and alignment, normalization and reactivity derivation, and RNA structure prediction in a single user-friendly web interface or via local installation. The variation in transcript abundance and length that prevails in living cells and consequently causes variation in the counts of structure-probing events between transcripts is accounted for. Accordingly, StructureFold is applicable to RNA structural profiling data obtained in\u00a0vivo as well as to in\u00a0vitro or in silico datasets. StructureFold is deployed via the Galaxy platform.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and Implementation: StructureFold is freely available as a component of Galaxy available at: https:\/\/usegalaxy.org\/.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0yxt148@psu.edu or sma3@psu.edu<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Supplementary information: \u00a0Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,18]],"date-time":"2015-04-18T00:21:53Z","timestamp":1429316513000},"page":"2668-2675","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["StructureFold: genome-wide RNA secondary structure mapping and reconstruction <i>in\u00a0vivo<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Yin","family":"Tang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biology,"},{"name":"2 Center for RNA Molecular Biology,"},{"name":"3 Bioinformatics and Genomics Graduate Program,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emil","family":"Bouvier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA,"},{"name":"5 Galaxyproject.org, University Park, PA 16802, USA and Baltimore, MD 21218, USA,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chun Kit","family":"Kwok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Center for RNA Molecular Biology,"},{"name":"6 Department of Chemistry and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yiliang","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biology,"},{"name":"2 Center for RNA Molecular Biology,"},{"name":"6 Department of Chemistry and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anton","family":"Nekrutenko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Bioinformatics and Genomics Graduate Program,"},{"name":"4 Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Penn State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA,"},{"name":"5 Galaxyproject.org, University Park, PA 16802, USA and Baltimore, MD 21218, USA,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Philip C.","family":"Bevilacqua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Center for RNA Molecular Biology,"},{"name":"6 Department of Chemistry and"},{"name":"7 Plant Biology Graduate Program, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah M.","family":"Assmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Department of Biology,"},{"name":"2 Center for RNA Molecular Biology,"},{"name":"3 Bioinformatics and Genomics Graduate Program,"},{"name":"7 Plant Biology Graduate Program, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania 16802, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020202202030400_btv213-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1864","DOI":"10.1261\/rna.043844.113","article-title":"Rational experiment design for sequencing-based RNA structure mapping","volume":"20","author":"Aviran","year":"2014","journal-title":"RNA"},{"key":"2023020202202030400_btv213-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11069","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1106541108","article-title":"Modeling and automation of sequencing-based characterization of RNA structure","volume":"108","author":"Aviran","year":"2011","journal-title":"Proc.
