Abstract. Conserved regions, or motifs, present among RNA secondary structures serve as a useful indicator for predicting the functionality of the RNA molecules. Automated detectio...
Given an RNA family characterized by conserved sequences and folding constraints, the problem is to search for all the instances of the RNA family in a genomic database. As seed-ba...
Background: Alternative splicing of pre-mature RNA is an important process eukaryotes utilize to increase their repertoire of different protein products. Several types of differen...
Computational identification of putative microRNA (miRNA) targets is an important step towards elucidating miRNA functions. Several miRNA target-prediction algorithms have been de...
Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of aligning multiple sequences of non-coding RNA genes. We approach this problem with the biologically motivated paradigm that scoring of...
