Hot Paper in Biology

"Mfold web server for nucleic acid folding and hybridization prediction," by Michael Zuker, Nucleic Acids
Research
, 31(13): 3406-15, 1 July 2003.

[Author's affiliation: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY]

Abstract: "The abbreviated name, 'mfold web server', describes a number of closely related software applications
available on the World Wide Web (WWW) for the prediction of the secondary structure of single stranded nucleic
acids. The objective of this web server is to provide easy access to RNA and DNA folding and hybridization software
to the scientific community at large. By making use of universally available web GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces), the server circumvents the problem of portability of this software. Detailed output, in the form of structure plots with or without reliability information, single strand frequency plots and 'energy dot plots', are available for the folding of single sequences. A variety of 'bulk' servers give less information, but in a shorter time and for up to hundreds of sequences at once. The portal for the mfold web server is http://www.bioinfo.rpi.edu/applications/mfold. This URL will be referred to as 'MFOLDROOT'."

Packaged on a CD-ROM that is mailed with each Science Watch issue, the Hot Papers Database contains data on hundreds of highly cited papers published during the last two years. User interface permits searching by author, organization, journal, field, and more. Total citations, as well as citations accrued during successive bimonthly periods, can be assessed and graphed. An updated CD containing the most recent bimonthly data is mailed with every new issue of Science Watch, six times a year. The CD also includes an electronic version of the Science Watch issue in HTML format, for personal desktop access.)
