ScanFold is an RNA sequence scanning pipeline which attempts to identify potentially functional RNA secondary structures. This is done by first scanning a single input sequence to identify regions which generate negative thermodynamic z-scores (a hallmark of functional RNA sequences), and subsequently identifying the specific base pairs which were responsible for generating the low z-scores.
