Background: Alternative splicing of pre-mature RNA is an important process eukaryotes utilize to increase their repertoire of different protein products. Several types of differen...
Given an RNA family characterized by conserved sequences and folding constraints, the problem is to search for all the instances of the RNA family in a genomic database. As seed-ba...
The discovery of novel non-coding RNAs has been among the most exciting recent developments in Biology. Yet, many more remain undiscovered. It has been hypothesized that there is ...
The Drosophila species comparative genome database DroSpeGe (http://insects.eugenes.org/ DroSpeGe/) provides genome researchers with rapid, usable access to 12 new and old Drosoph...
