The tool can simulate destructive and compensatory mutants of two interacting single-stranded RNAs. This will facilitate a fast and accurate assessment of key regions, possibly involved in functional long-range RNA-RNA interactions and finally help virologists to design appropriate experiments. In this study, we present a tool called SilentMutations (SIM) that effectively simulates synonymous (silent) compensatory mutations in two single-stranded viral RNAs and is therefore appropriate for the in vitro assessment of predicted LRIs. Here, we present a command-line tool, called SilentMutations (SIM), that can simulate synonymous structure-destroying and structurepreserving mutation pairs within coding regions for long-range RNA-RNA interaction experiments. Figure 1 : Overall workflow of the SilentMutations tool, exemplary shown for two sequences from a negative single-stranded RNA virus genome (ssRNA-) (a) The first step will extract the defined range in each sequence and possibly increase the range to preserve codons in the given reading frame. ./cache/cord-102968-mhawyect.txt ./txt/cord-102968-mhawyect.txt
