A polyhedral approach to RNA sequence structure alignment
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymer composed of four bases denoted A, C, G, and U. It is a generally single-stranded molecule where the bases form hydrogen bonds within the same m...

Can Clustal-style progressive pairwise alignment of multiple sequences be used in RNA secondary structure prediction?
Background: In ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules whose function depends on their final, folded three-dimensional shape (such as those in ribosomes or spliceosome complexes), the se...

The RNAz web server: prediction of thermodynamically stable and evolutionarily conserved RNA structures
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 ...

An Open Problem in RNA Secondary Structure Prediction by the Comparative Approach
Abstract One approach to predict the secondary structure of RNA is the comparative approach. This approach is used when alignment of several homologous sequences of a RNA is availa...

Improved accuracy of multiple ncRNA alignment by incorporating structural information into a MAFFT-based framework
Background: Structural alignment of RNAs is becoming important, since the discovery of functional non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Recent studies, mainly based on various approximations ...
