MODENA (for multiple targets) website

MODENA (Multi-Objective DEsign of Nucleic Acids) is an inverse folding program based on multi-objective genetic algorithm. Non profit, academic users can download and use MODENA. For non-academic or commercial use, please contact the author.

The follwing gipped files include an executable file and a pdf manual.

We have tested these files with CentOS 5 & 6 (x86_64), Ubuntu 12 (x86_64), Ubuntu 13 (i686), and Mac OS 10.9. Please read the manual in the downloaded files (Windows version is currently in progress) .

Currently, I would like to distribute executable files alone.

NOTE1 for the Mac version: If user would like to utilize the Fold program of RNAstructure package as method, the full path of the Fold program has to be specified (see modena_dps4RNAstructure.pl), if a program named 'fold' has already been installed in Mac OS X.

NOTE2 for the Mac version: NUPACK, UNAFold, and RNAsoft packages and FindPath cannot be used as methods of MODENA. Parallelization (OpenMP) also cannot be used .

The following gipped file includes readme.txt in which example MODENA commands are written.
