Improving pairwise sequence alignment accuracy using near-optimal protein sequence alignments
Background: While the pairwise alignments produced by sequence similarity searches are a powerful tool for identifying homologous proteins - proteins that share a common ancestor ...

Searching for evolutionary distant RNA homologs within genomic sequences using partition function posterior probabilities
Background: Identification of RNA homologs within genomic stretches is difficult when pairwise sequence identity is low or unalignable flanking residues are present. In both cases...

Predicting RNA secondary structure by the comparative approach: how to select the homologous sequences
Background: The secondary structure of an RNA must be known before the relationship between its structure and function can be determined. One way to predict the secondary structur...

Considerations in the identification of functional RNA structural elements in genomic alignments
Background: Accurate identification of novel, functional noncoding (nc) RNA features in genome sequence has proven more difficult than for exons. Current algorithms identify and s...

Multiple Structural RNA Alignment with Lagrangian Relaxation
In contrast to proteins, many classes of functionally related RNA molecules show a rather weak sequence conservation but instead a fairly well conserved secondary structure. Hence ...
