We consider here the problem of chaining seeds in ordered trees. Seeds are mappings between two trees Q and T and a chain is a subset of non overlapping seeds that is consistent wi...
Abstract: The search for local RNA secondary structures and the annotation of unusually stable folding regions in genomic sequences are two well motivated bioinformatic problems. I...

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 ...
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...
Background: The proliferation of structural and functional studies of RNA has revealed an increasing range of RNA's structural repertoire. Toward the objective of systematic ...

Background: Alignment of RNA secondary structures is important in studying functional RNA motifs. In recent years, much progress has been made in RNA motif finding and structure a...

composed of various graphs linked together by relations of abstraction/refinement. The new structure is useful for representing information that can be described at t levels of abs...
On the basis of maximum weighted matching (MWM) algorithm, we introduced a dynamic weight related with stem length and used a recursive algorithm to predict RNA secondary structur...
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...
We describe an algorithm for comparing two RNA secondary structures coded in the form of trees that introduces two new operations, called node fusion and edge fusion, besides the t...
