How do I read the Shape notation?

How do I read the shape notation acuratly? I am workng on an app that takes in teh sahpe notation adn spits out a general “great place to start at” and sometimes my method solves puzzles with no effort in 5 minutes or less. I need to be able to inject teh correct RNA design shape goal.

I don’t totally get your question. Do you want to know what shape data would correspond to a particular structure or do you want to read in the raw shape data to look for good places to start for improvement?

Does this help?
