Abstract
Nearest neighbor thermodynamic parameters are widely used for RNA and DNA secondary structure prediction and to model thermodynamic ensembles of secondary structures. The Nearest Neighbor Database (NNDB) is a freely available web resource (https://rna.urmc.rochester.edu/NNDB) that provides the functional forms, parameter values, and example calculations. The NNDB provides the 1999 and 2004 set of RNA folding nearest neighbor parameters. We expanded the database to include a set of DNA parameters and a set of RNA parameters that includes m6A in addition to the canonical RNA nucleobases. The site was redesigned using the Quarto open-source publishing system. A downloadable PDF version of the complete resource and downloadable sets of nearest neighbor parameters are available.
