NAME
       exparna_p - manual page for exparna_p (LocARNA 2.0.0)

DESCRIPTION
       exparna_p: fast exact structure local matching of RNAs.

       USAGE: exparna_p	[options] <Input 1> <Input 2>

       exparna_p  performs  pairwise  matching and folding, i.e. it determines
       exactly matching	local favourable sub-structures	that can be  simulata-
       neously formed in the input RNAs.

   Input
       Input  consists	of two sequences or alignments,	which are specified in
       fasta, clustal, stockholm, or LocARNA pp	format.

       Optionally, one can specify structure and anchor	constraints  in	 these
       input files.

   Output
       The program enumerates exactly matching local substructures (exact pat-
       tern  matches  =	 EPMs) and optionally chains them. It returns lists of
       chained and unchained matches, visualizations of	the results and	anchor
       constraints for alignment.

	      postscript dotplot. Unless in-loop

	      probabilities are	provided (only possible	in LocARNA PP),

       base pair
	      probabilities are	computed by partition function folding.

	      Clustal, Stockholm, and PP input can contain constraints.

EXAMPLES
       Essentially exparna_p is	called in the same  way	 as  locarna  and  the
       other  pairwise	alignemnt  tools of the	package. Please	refer to their
       documentation. Note that	exparna	is  usually  called  with  single  se-
       quences rather than alignments.
