Exploiting conserved structure for faster annotation of non-coding RNAs without loss of accuracy
Motivation: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)--functional RNA molecules not coding for proteins--are grouped into hundreds of families of homologs. To find new members of an ncRNA gene fam...

Weave amino acid sequences for protein secondary structure prediction
Given a known protein sequence, predicting its secondary structure can help understand its three-dimensional (tertiary) structure, i.e., the folding. In this paper, we present an ...
