PKscan: a program to identify H-type RNA pseudoknots in any RNA sequence with unlimited length.

ABSTRACT: A computer program written in C++ has been developed which can detect all potential H-type RNA pseudoknots within any given RNA sequence. There is no limit on the length of the input sequence. A validation run of the program using the full-length (8173 nt) genomic mRNA of simian retrovirus type-1 (SRV-1) identifies the established -1 frameshift stimulating pseudokont at the gagpro junction as the most stable pseudoknot within the genomic mRNA.
