Pseudoknots are a frequent RNA structure that assumes essential roles for varied biocatalyst cell's functions. One of the most challenging fields in bioinformatics is the pre...
Background: The prediction of the structure of large RNAs remains a particular challenge in bioinformatics, due to the computational complexity and low levels of accuracy of state...
We extend stochastic context-free grammars such that the probability of applying a production can depend on the length of the subword that is generated from the application and sho...
Background: RNA secondary structure prediction methods based on probabilistic modeling can be developed using stochastic context-free grammars (SCFGs). Such methods can readily co...
Motivation: Since the whole genome sequences for many species are currently available, computational predictions of RNA secondary structures and computational identifications of t...
