Identification of consensus RNA secondary structures using suffix arrays
Background: The identification of a consensus RNA motif often consists in finding a conserved secondary structure with minimum free energy in an ensemble of aligned sequences. How...

Using 3D Hidden Markov Models that explicitly represent spatial coordinates to model and compare protein structures
Background: Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) have proven very useful in computational biology for such applications as sequence pattern matching, gene-finding, and structure prediction...

Improved accuracy of multiple ncRNA alignment by incorporating structural information into a MAFFT-based framework
Background: Structural alignment of RNAs is becoming important, since the discovery of functional non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Recent studies, mainly based on various approximations ...

Improving model construction of profile HMMs for remote homology detection through structural alignment
Background: Remote homology detection is a challenging problem in Bioinformatics. Arguably, profile Hidden Markov Models (pHMMs) are one of the most successful approaches in addre...

A novel representation of RNA secondary structure based on element-contact graphs
Background: Depending on their specific structures, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play important roles in many biological processes. Interest in developing new topological indices based...
