Background: In recent years, the number of available RNA structures has rapidly grown reflecting the increased interest on RNA biology. Similarly to the studies carried out two de...
—Homology modeling requires an accurate alignment between a query sequence and its homologs with known three-dimensional (3D) information. Current structural modeling techniques ...
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 ...
Motivation: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)--functional RNA molecules not coding for proteins--are grouped into hundreds of families of homologs. To find new members of an ncRNA gene fam...
