Summary: Here we present APTANI2, an expanded and optimized version of APTANI, a computational tool for selecting target-specific aptamers from high-throughput-Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment data through sequence-structure analysis. As compared to its original implementation, APTANI2 ranks aptamers and identifies relevant structural motifs through the calculation of a score that combines frequency and structural stability of each secondary structure predicted in any aptamer sequence. In addition, APTANI2 comprises modules for a deeper investigation of sequence motifs and secondary structures, a graphical user interface that enhances its usability, and coding solutions that improve performances.

Abstract

Summary: Here we present APTANI2, an expanded and optimized version of APTANI, a computational tool for selecting target-specific aptamers from high-throughput-Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment data through sequence-structure analysis. As compared to its original implementation, APTANI2 ranks aptamers and identifies relevant structural motifs through the calculation of a score that combines frequency and structural stability of each secondary structure predicted in any aptamer sequence. In addition, APTANI2 comprises modules for a deeper investigation of sequence motifs and secondary structures, a graphical user interface that enhances its usability, and coding solutions that improve performances.
