RNA structures play a fundamental role in nearly every aspect of cellular physiology and pathology. Gaining insights into the functions of RNA molecules requires accurate predictions of RNA secondary structures. However, the existing thermodynamic folding models remain less accurate than desired, even when chemical probing data, such as selective 2'-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) reactivities, are used as restraints. Unlike most SHAPE-directed algorithms that only consider SHAPE restraints for base pairing, we extract two-dimensional structural features encoded in SHAPE data and establish robust relationships between characteristic SHAPE patterns and loop motifs of various types (hairpin, internal, and bulge) and lengths (2-11 nucleotides). Such characteristic SHAPE patterns are closely related to the sugar pucker conformations of loop residues. Based on these patterns, we propose a computational method, SHAPELoop, which refines the predicted results of the existing methods, thereby further improving their prediction accuracy. In addition, SHAPELoop can provide information about local or global structural rearrangements (including pseudoknots) and help researchers to easily test their hypothesized secondary structures.
