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...
Background: The ability to access, search and analyse secondary structures of a large set of known RNA molecules is very important for deriving improved RNA energy models, for eva...

Motivation: Since the whole genome sequences for many species are currently available, computational predictions of RNA secondary structures and computational identifications of t...
Background: Depending on their specific structures, noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) play important roles in many biological processes. Interest in developing new topological indices based...
We study three closely related problems motivated by the prediction of RNA secondary structures with arbitrary pseudoknots: the MAXIMUM BASE PAIR STACKINGS problem proposed by Ieon...
