Background: The diverse functions of ncRNAs critically depend on their structures. Mutations in ncRNAs disrupting the structures of functional sites are expected to be deleterious...
— We describe a theoretical unifying framework to express comparison of RNA structures, which we call alignment hierarchy. This framework relies on the definition of common supe...
