The primary structure of a ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecule is a sequence of nucleotides (bases) over the four-letter alphabet fA; C; G; Ug. The secondary or tertiary structure of ...
In this paper, we study k-noncrossing, -canonical RNA pseudoknot structures with minimum arc-length greater or equal to four. Let T OE4 k; .n/ denote the number of these structure...
The study of non-sequential alignments, with different connectivity of the aligned fragments in the proteins being compared can offer a more complete picture of the structural, evo...
Motivation: Bacterial small ribonucleic acids (sRNAs) that are not ribosomal and transfer or messenger RNAs were initially identified in the sixties whereas their molecular functi...
Background: While the pairwise alignments produced by sequence similarity searches are a powerful tool for identifying homologous proteins - proteins that share a common ancestor ...
