Predicting RNA secondary structure by the comparative approach: how to select the homologous sequences
Background: The secondary structure of an RNA must be known before the relationship between its structure and function can be determined. One way to predict the secondary structur...

Can Clustal-style progressive pairwise alignment of multiple sequences be used in RNA secondary structure prediction?
Background: In ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules whose function depends on their final, folded three-dimensional shape (such as those in ribosomes or spliceosome complexes), the se...

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 ...
