Abstract. We present three heuristic strategies for folding RNA sequences into secondary structures including kissing hairpin motifs. The new idea is to construct a kissing hairpin...
Background: The general problem of RNA secondary structure prediction under the widely used thermodynamic model is known to be NP-complete when the structures considered include a...
Motivation: Since the whole genome sequences for many species are currently available, computational predictions of RNA secondary structures and computational identifications of t...
Pseudoknots are widely occurring structural motifs in RNA. Pseudoknots have been shown to be functionally important in different RNAs which play regulatory, catalytic, or structur...

Distinct, local structures are frequently correlated with functional RNA elements involved in posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression. Discovery of microRNAs (miRNAs) su...
