A small class of RNA molecules, in particular the tiny genomes of viroids, are circular. Yet most structure prediction algorithms handle only linear RNAs. The most straightforward ...
Background: Alignment of RNA secondary structures is important in studying functional RNA motifs. In recent years, much progress has been made in RNA motif finding and structure a...

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...

As one of the earliest problems in computational biology, RNA secondary structure prediction (sometimes referred to as "RNA folding") problem has attracted attention agai...
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...
