Normalized Similarity of RNA Sequences
We introduce a normalized version of the LCS metric as a new local similarity measure for comparing two RNAs. An O(n2 m lg m) time algorithm is presented for computing the maximum ...

Local Alignment of RNA Sequences with Arbitrary Scoring Schemes
Abstract. Local similarity is an important tool in comparative analysis of biological sequences, and is therefore well studied. In particular, the Smith-Waterman technique and its ...

Sequence similarity is more relevant than species specificity in probabilistic backtranslation
Background: Backtranslation is the process of decoding a sequence of amino acids into the corresponding codons. All synthetic gene design systems include a backtranslation module....

Quantifying the relationship between sequence and three-dimensional structure conservation in RNA
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...

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 ...
