MELTING¶

Description¶

MELTING is a software to compute, for a nucleic acid duplex, the enthalpy and the entropy of the helix coil transition and then the melting temperature. Four types of hybridization are possible : DNA/DNA, RNA/RNA, RNA/DNA and mRNA/RNA.

Environment Modules¶

Run module spider melting to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

Environment Variables¶

HPC_MELTING_DIR - installation directory
HPC_MELTING_BIN - executable directory
HPC_MELTING_MAN - manpages directory
