Abstract. RNA shapes, introduced by Giegerich et al. (17), provide a useful classification of the branching complexity for RNA secondary structures. In this paper, we derive an exa...
Background: Most non-coding RNA families exert their function by means of a conserved, common secondary structure. The Rfam data base contains more than five hundred structurally ...
: The ability of some RNA molecules to switch between different metastable conformations plays an important role in cellular processes. In order to identify such molecules and to p...
