Method Detail

findPseudoknots

public final List<BpSeq> findPseudoknots(BpSeq bpSeq)

Finds pseudoknots by removing one region at a time until there are any conflicts. The region to remove is selected according to a heuristic (see MinGain and MaxConflicts).

Specified by:

findPseudoknots in interface PseudoknotFinder

Parameters:

bpSeq - An input BPSEQ structure with all pairs.

Returns:

A list of BPSEQ structures where each contains only pairs considered to be pseudoknots. Each BPSEQ is a full copy of original one, but contains zeroed 'pair' columns for entries which are non-pseudoknots.
