Abstract
We present a new algorithm for the display of RNA secondary structure. The principle of the algorithm is entirely different from those currently in use in that our algorithm is 'object oriented' while current algorithms are 'procedural'. The circular RNA molecule of chrysanthemum stunt viroid was used as input data for demonstrating the operation of the program. The major interest of this method will be found in its potential use in simulation graphics of RNA folding processes.
