An RNA molecule is structured on several layers. The primary and most obvious structure is its sequence of bases, i.e. a word over the alphabet {A, C, G, U}. The higher structure i...
Background: Owing to the rapid expansion of RNA structure databases in recent years, efficient methods for structure comparison are in demand for function prediction and evolution...
: Pseudoknots are essential for the functioning of many small RNA molecules. In addition, viral RNAs often exhibit pseudoknots that are required at various stages of the viral life...
Using a flexible representation of biological sequences, we have performed a comparative analysis of 1208 known tRNA sequences. We believe we our technique is a more sensitive met...
Prediction and alignment of RNA pseudoknot structures are NP-hard. Nevertheless, several efficient prediction algorithms by dynamic programming have been proposed for restricted cl...
