Title: UNAfold integration
Post by User of Ugene on Jul 18^th, 2013 at 5:11pm

A really great feature would be succinct integration of the UNAFold RNA/DNA folding software. This package is currently command line only and UGene would be a terrific GUI for this. Besides an easy way to select the many variables, UGene could offer to simply select a region to fold and include annotations (e.g. miRNAs) as hybridisation foldings. The output from UNAFold could be integrated in the UGene sequence viewer and could include double-stranded regions, ss-count, etc.

If licencing would permit it, I'd be really excited to see this happen.

Dear User of UGENE,

Currently, UGENE integrates only free tools.

As I can see on the internet (http://mfold.rna.albany.edu/?q=DINAMelt/software) the UNAfold software is not a free software. Am I right?

If I am not right, could you provide, please, the correct link to the website of this tool?

They do seem to contradict themselves with their claim of it being free or not for academic users. However, I've found and official link to the free software:

Best of luck
