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 ex-
     actly matching local favourable sub-structures that can be  simulataneously
     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  pattern
     matches = EPMs) and optionally chains them. It returns lists of chained and
     unchained matches, visualizations of the results and anchor constraints for
     alignment.

   Input files:
	    The  two  input  files <Input 1> and <Input 2> specify the input se-
	    quences in various, automatically detected formats. Accepted formats
	    are: Fasta, Clustal, Stockholm LocARNA PP, ViennaRNA postscript dot-
	    plot. 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  documenta-
     tion. Note that exparna is usually called with single sequences rather than
     alignments.
