How Do The Ribosome Binding Site (Rbs) Calculators Compare?

Question

[Bobthejoe]

I see a lot of questions related to Transcriptional start site prediction but very little on RBS prediction. Which ones are actually reliable?

Hey, I think this can be still helpful for researchers even though it was asked a while ago. The RBS prediction by Salis's RBS Calculator is well explained on these two short articles and on the tutorial:

1. How it works
2. Q&A with Prof. Howard Salis
3. Tutorial video about the RBS Calculator - embedded inside Genome Compiler (which is free for academics to use)
