Pairwise covariance adds little to secondary structure prediction but improves the prediction of non-canonical local structure
Background: Amino acid sequence probability distributions, or profiles, have been used successfully to predict secondary structure and local structure in proteins. Profile models ...

ConStruct: Improved construction of RNA consensus structures
Background: Aligning homologous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) correctly in terms of sequence and structure is an unresolved problem, due to both mathematical complexity and imperfect s...

Strategies for measuring evolutionary conservation of RNA secondary structures
Background: Evolutionary conservation of RNA secondary structure is a typical feature of many functional non-coding RNAs. Since almost all of the available methods used for predic...

Considerations in the identification of functional RNA structural elements in genomic alignments
Background: Accurate identification of novel, functional noncoding (nc) RNA features in genome sequence has proven more difficult than for exons. Current algorithms identify and s...

MiRFinder: an improved approach and software implementation for genome-wide fast microRNA precursor scans
Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recognized as one of the most important families of noncoding RNAs that serve as important sequence-specific post-transcriptional regulators of ...
