Knowledge of energy barriers between pairs of secondary structures for a given DNA or RNA molecule is useful, both in understanding RNA function in biological settings and in desig...
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules play important roles in many biological processes including gene expression and regulation. An RNA molecule is a linear polymer which folds back o...

Many non-coding RNA genes and cis-acting regulatory elements of mRNAs contain RNA secondary structures that are critical for their function. Such functional RNAs can be predicted ...
We introduce the notion of conservative edit distance and mapping between two RNA stem-loops. We show that unlike the general edit distance between RNA secondary structures, the co...
Despite the computing power of emerging technologies, predicting long RNA secondary structures with thermodynamics-based methods is still infeasible, especially if the structures ...
