Fine-tuning structural RNA alignments in the twilight zone
Background: A widely used method to find conserved secondary structure in RNA is to first construct a multiple sequence alignment, and then fold the alignment, optimizing a score ...

An enhanced RNA alignment benchmark for sequence alignment programs
Background: The performance of alignment programs is traditionally tested on sets of protein sequences, of which a reference alignment is known. Conclusions drawn from such protei...
