The characters + and - show presence and absence of a certain feature, while NA indicates that the feature is not applicable in a given context. Abbreviations of input file formats are (C)lustal-format, (F)asta-format, (S)tockholm-format, and (V)iennaRNA-format. Support for prediction of suboptimal structures may be implemented as (B)oltzmann weighted sampling, exhaustive (E)numeration of all structures in a given energy band, and (Z)uker-style suboptimal structures. Programs marked by an asterisk (*) were not included in a previous release of the ViennaRNA Package.
