1. Resource Description

   "RNA self containment is an implementation of the Self-Containment Index (SC), as described in the related publication. It measures the robustness of RNA structures to changes in the surrounding sequence context, which we hypothesize to be a hallmark of structural modularity. SC values range from 0.0 (no self containment) to 1.0 (completely self contained)." "Secondary structure prediction is performed using the Vienna RNA Package, provided by Ivo Hofacker, et al, at the Institute for Theoretical Chemistry of the University of Vienna."
