Dinucleotide controlled null models for comparative RNA gene prediction
Background: Comparative prediction of RNA structures can be used to identify functional noncoding RNAs in genomic screens. It was shown recently by Babak et al. [BMC Bioinformatic...

Consensus RNA Secondary Structure Prediction by Ranking k-Length Stems
The accurate computational prediction of RNA secondary structures is a difficult task, but an important one, since RNA structure is usually more evolutionarily conserved than prima...

Estimates of statistical significance for comparison of individual positions in multiple sequence alignments
Background: Profile-based analysis of multiple sequence alignments (MSA) allows for accurate comparison of protein families. Here, we address the problems of detecting statistical...

Learning Models for Aligning Protein Sequences with Predicted Secondary Structure
Accurately aligning distant protein sequences is notoriously difficult. A recent approach to improving alignment accuracy is to use additional information such as predicted seconda...

Scoredist: A simple and robust protein sequence distance estimator
Background: Distance-based methods are popular for reconstructing evolutionary trees thanks to their speed and generality. A number of methods exist for estimating distances from ...
